So, when you ask one of your, what YOU deem as “crazy” patients if they have a gun and they say yes, who do you report them to? Are you a psychiatrist too?

Every physician has training in psychiatry, and most psychiatric diagnoses are not made by trained psychiatrists. So yes, in a sense I am. As far as who I report them to, unless they are homicidal, nobody. A suicidal patient is institutionalized for his own protection. A homicidal patient is reported to the authorities. Otherwise, the information is documented for medicolegal purposes and remains in the chart.

And that is the part I do not like or agree with. Those records will one day be available to the Government. (if they aren't already)

Thanks for the enlightenment.
