They respect and honor that, even in some pretty hairy situations.
Our experiences and observations are different. I have seen it enough in my profession, some with my sick person, and a tiny bit personally with an md years ago in a non-mental health area - to be extremely wary and cautious. It is one of the reasons I became a lawyer.
