Making a call to Child Protective Services…
I haven’t made the call to CPS yet. I will most likely do it tomorrow. Part of my hesitation is maybe the fact that I’m questioning my own motives for wanting to make a report in this case. I’m wondering if I’m wanting to use a CPS report as a sort of intervention for the patient. Rationally, I know this would be silly. The likelihood that CPS would take action is probably small. And, talking to this patient, I doubt that even CPS coming into the home would make any difference in the course of their disease. So, it boils down to making the call just to cover myself, just in case. But, I just wish it felt clearer to me that this was the “right thing” in this case.
Note: Try to talk her out of it, will you?
