How Kosher is it for a doctor to diagnose a patient and then not tell

Advertisements [?]

the Patient about it?

I've been in a pain-management program for years, with a very specific nerve problem. I've been on meds and an implant for about a decade.

I just received a letter from my pain doc's office, inviting me to join in a study for fibromyalgia. Evidently they have a new med they want to try out.

What alarmed me was the notation that I am one of the doctor's listed fibromyalgia patients(!!??!!) and that is why they were sending me the note.

I'm VERY alarmed. If I have this (according to the doctors) WHY wasn't I told?
