 Re: Break confidentiality or not? Please help
I think the first course of action would be to try to talk the patient into telling the Dr what she has just told you.
If that didn't work, say that the new Rx could be very dangerous and see where she goes with that.
If she's determined to take the new Rx then I think you would have to inform the prescriber.
