third party medical practitioner

ADV PREMHID asserts that compelled examination by a third-party medical practitioner would have a deleterious effect, but less intrusive means respecting the role of the treating doctor are acceptable.

“the deleterious effect of a compelled imposition of a third party medical practitioner would be for what he is doing, but not to say that that is a total outruling of less intrusive means provided that whatever the less intrusive means are, plays a suitably respectful role of him as the treating doctor”

The treating doctor does not oppose the interposition of a third-party medical practitioner if voluntary consent is obtained and the interposition is less intrusive than compelled attendance.

“the doctor has himself spoken about less intrusive means in a multiple, in a multitude of manifestations and if the doctor interposing in respect of a third party to obtain voluntary consent, whether it is given or not given, is within the basket of those less intrusive means as I see it because it is not the compelled examination”
