Guest guest Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi group, I am struggling with wording/documenting the fact that I do not believe a new patient I am seeing is a truly reliable historian- liar - of his case or history. Pedestrian hit by a car. This is the second time, first in 2007. He reports being beat up in 2009 but would not provide details. He contradicted himself in recalling the few details of the accident he " remembers " . He was reluctant to give me information about his past conditions. Told me I did not need to see the police report. I nicely assured him I needed all the information available to help him to the best of my abilities. My treatment is going to be EXTREMELY conservative until I feel more comfortable with the details behind the case. I want to document this and do a good CYA, but I also do not want to report something that may negatively impact his medical/legal future. Any suggestions on how to nicely call this guy a liar without doing any potential future damage to a potential case? Where is the appropriate spot in the notes for this? a narrative, soap? Should I even be worried about this? Thanks in advance! a Lehman, DC Corvallis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
