>I'm sure ethics has nothing to do with it and it's all about discretion at best, or at worst, the circle the wagons mentality docs sometimes have. There are ways of steering people to or away from others without engaging in slander. Your "get a second opinion" example is apt. Rather I would be horrified if my doc did nothing to steer me away from someone whom he knew to be incompetent or even, just not the right person for me. I think the doc in the group was BSing.
