guys please put yourself in this situation, and stop the confusion, first she is not your patient, and even if she was you dont grab the phone and call her, not anywhere in the world have you seen doctors calling the other persons thats being threatened NOOOOO
so you call the police first, and let them deal with thte situaltion, you did your part, and the case is with them now.

even if you called her they might end up killing eachothers and you ll end up being involved and the police will ask why didnt you call the polics, ????
so answer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

D. persuade him not to kill his wife

because he is still in your office, you have to do smthing with him like Dr-Patient, if you cannot convince him....then call the police first

all depends on how the question comes up in exam, its gonna be lengthy, and confusing for sure, but if they ask what is the first you do, ok fine convince him, but here they say he is determined , he has a plan already, he knows what hes gonna do, and in such situations i cannot assume i have persuaded him, he is already threatening , i have to take the matter seriously.

Actually the answer is A).
Confidentiality principle is disrupted if there be an public safety problem. The doctor should inform the police and make them prevent further danger of homicide.

HI Dr. ARLOusHI
In fact, i had similar question which was taken from a reference but there were choice put together that choice had (tell the wife and police) as one choice and the answer was tell the wife and police together but here in this question sperate police and wife in 2choices. I hope the question posted correctly as should be together not come in sperate choice or come either one which mean either tell the wife or tell the police. so the answerit is definte choice B or choice A. Amd because of criminal record with this patient i go with you Dr arloshi tell police first

B. Inform the wife
this is the correct answer for 100% sure

HI Dr. ARLOusHI
In fact, during my search i found the answer for this question in a reference with same questio exactly. so the answer was B. Inform the wife .
in case the criminal man reach the wife before the police will hurt her and you will be responsible for any harm if happen to the wife. so first inform the victom then call the police to get rid any responsibility if happen to the wife

please no more discussion it is for sure A

you have to inform the police,
doc has a duty "to warn" when a pts reveals he intends to initiate serious harm to someone else and this treat seems credible.
you are not a call center to call around the city ,you have no right to call his wife ,she can report you that you are harassing her,your obligation is your pts thats all
good luck
