Yes, and Dr. O'Keeffe referred to this. Does she not accept that at her level, perhaps she should not just accept what she is told? Does she not accept, and I would think that it would have been fairly obvious to anyone who had worked in clinical medicine, that doctors would have had an issue disclosing information that was not part of their testing? A woman with active cancer has a consultant in charge, so more than likely it was not at the GPs where they had the smear done, it was with the next doctor. I would have thought it was fairly basic that one would assume that clinicians would have a problem disseminating the information down.
