Dr. Jones runs a rehab facility and is treating a psychotic drug user. The patient suddenly abandons the facility, leaving a note that he plans to kill his ex-wife today. The patient has left behind his antipsychotic medicine that he must take every two hours. Dr. Jones?

  Dr. Jones should call the police. The patient has made a credible threat to commit murder. When a person's life is at stake, a doctor must put aside his promise of confidentiality and notify the authorities.
