Hi all,
I can't really understand how it is even possible for a doctor to demand that the treatment is disclosed to another person against the patient's will. This is unethical and even illegal in some countries. Every adult patient with ability to consent for the treatment is entitled to confidentiality. We should not yield to such demands, we have rights.

Unethical how?
Just as patients have the right to choose their doctor, doctors have a right to create their own stipulations for accepting patients.

Unehtical is not the right word, i agree with Kilo here. but at the same time I believe that it is a questionable practice. If you see the pratcices in US or Europe, a person's privacy rights are of high importance and anybody who has lived or born is US or Europe will find it unacceptable. I am an indian, lived 30 years in india nd 6 years in US, 4 months in Europe and one of the reasons I left India to study and live in US is because of lack of respect for privacy and no protection of an individual's privacy. THe poster above (Andy) is right Kilo, in many countries it will be illegal. That is not to say that Parihar is wrong, I am sure he has good intentions, but this practice does violate the law of many western countries, maybe it is legal in India.

How so? I hope you realize that LL is an elective cosmetic surgery, akin to chin implant, lipo. So in what way you feel it is important to inform someone else? No need to inform anybody. Informing anybody is of no use and violates privacy rights.

Boss, you are confused between two things - whenever you visit a doctor or get a surgery or even any kind of medical treatment (and even for non medical issues) you have to put names of people that would be contacted in case of emergency, those are called emergency contacts, But nowhere would they say that you have to disclose to these contacts beforehand that you are visitign the doctor or undergoing a surgery. providing emergency contats makes full sense and I am sure nobody in no country in the world would be foolish enough to protest that, but this (informing people of your cosmetic surgery) is not acceptable.

LL like a lipo/chin implant ? You must be joking

I know dr Parihar asks for the number of one contact, but am not sure he pushes you to tell him/her about It, It is confused.
duplicate

Ok, I hope he does not contact them beforehand, anyway - thanks to all for the inputs, if/when I chose the surgeon I will ask him/her but would push back if the doctor asks for disclosure to relatives/friends.
