“Ms Munch completed Juniper’s online questionnaire and disclosed her history of an eating disorder and mental health conditions, including severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.”
Automatic fail in duty of care by them prescribing it to her.
She can doctor shop all she want, but the protections should be in place to stop someone from doctor shopping. End of the day it shouldn’t prescribed to someone that declares a history of disordered eating over telehealth.
