Does doctor know best

The issue in this episode a woman named Betty has an unusual pap smear. Her doctor would like her to postpone her vacation trip in order for them to perform more test to determine whether or not it's cancerous. She leaves on her trip anyway. The doctor tries to locate her in a few days to get her to come in, but he has no luck. The doctor is getting worried, so he calls Betty's husband who is a golfing buddy. He tells the husband that he's concerned about Betty and the reasons for his concern. The issue was, did the doctor break doctor-patient confidentiality. I would say yes he did, but it is also hard to say that he did the wrong thing because his heart was in a good place. I more than likely would've done the same thing. When it comes to ethical terms, yes, he did an un-ethical thing. Betty could've had many reasons why she wasn't able to return the doctors phone calls or tell her husband. Another scenario is that Betty turns up pregnant but because of the cancer, the baby is now in danger. She would like to keep the baby, but doctors inform her that the baby will more than likely die anyway. If she has the surgery to keep the baby, they could both die. Dan, her husband, wants Betty to save herself, but Betty wants to save the child. Betty tells her doctor, "baby first, me second." The longer they wait, the better the chances are for the baby, but it becomes increasingly more harmful for Betty. Does the doctor do what's best for the baby or Betty. I would do what Betty wants. It's her body and her baby. I think that's the only fair thing to do.
