What happens when a vulnerable patient threatens to kill their GP? In this episode, guest GP and medical educator Jens Foell tells the story of his turbulent relationship with a man with drug dependency and a violent past – and the affection that developed between them despite the odds. He talks to Rupal Shah and Bob Clarke about how he responded to his patient’s demands for controlled drugs, to the death threats that were made and explains why this difficult relationship nevertheless brought him meaning.
