Pam's Girl - Breaking patient confidentiality is a serious matter and will result in disiplinary action and dismissal...she would never be able to work in the health profession again.

Not forgetting the data protection act!-Punky
It's proving it though, the fact I feel threatened by it and it's exasperating my condition should cause them all to think twice. I will tell them I have changed my religion because of this and I no longer want to attend meetings. Making certain actions in my life should make the surgery know how it's affected me. Her rudeness needs to be addressed.

Hi Kate. I'm glad you are not going to the KH anymore.
Did the woman actually shun you?
"I...approached her to find out what days she was off so I could avoid her. She refused to tell me and treated me dissmissivley and rudely."
If somebody asked me which days I was at work so they could avoid me I think I might be dismissive of their request as well.
Please be careful about getting involved in unecessary hassle. Life is too short.

Good point cofty,
But she just made me feel uncomfrtable, my intial request was to keep things simple and make things more comfortable for the two of us. I wasn't asking her what days she was in I was asking her what days she was off. It was a spur of the moment request, and I was shaking nervously when I approached her. It would not have mattered if I wasn't back at meetings, I would have boldly entered into friendly chit chat.
After some thought, I made the executive decision that meetings caused my anxiety and not going will help me to remain calm. I do not want to go into my doctors and be ignored by the CoBE, so I will not. I hate this shunning policy and will reamin friendly and chatty with her at all times.
You're right I should not actively ignore or avoid her, it's rude.
Well put Cofty. Thanks.

Hi Kate when I was still looking for a cure for being gay & something to help me to cope with anxiety the JW way of life was causing me I went to my doctor for help.
I mentioned that I was concerned that my work collegue's wife had started working at the surgery reception & asked if she would have access to my medical notes. The Dr said they take it very seriously if one of their staff breaks patient confidentiallity & asked me several times if I had any suspicion that my medical information was being leaked.
I reckon they will take your experience seriously too.
