Dr. Jacqueline Montwill:
I agree. The problem is when, as our colleagues this morning said, the woman is refusing all treatments. The reality there is that of course there are other options, but she is refusing them. That is her right. If she has no mental illness, in our practice we have to say, "These are our treatments and we offer them to you. Come back if you want them. Can we phone you tomorrow?"
