As an aside, there is such a long history of blatant unethical behavior and pseudoscientific medical procedures throughout the entire history of medicine (and especially so-called “public health” - take AZT as one tiny example), that it shocks me that people have this attitude of “oh yeah bloodletting and lobotomies and clitorectomedies and male circumcision as punishment for masturbation were wrong but everything’s fine now and there’s no giant institutional problems with the medical orthodoxy anymore”
So it is crazy to me that they didn't unenroll the patient upon receiving that warning. If a patient threatened suicide in one of their recordings we would have to get in contact with their main doctor ASAP, and this is actually one of the things the IRB was concerned about - if we didn't review the recordings in a timely fashion but patients thought we did, it could mean a suicide threat gets missed that might not have otherwise. Refusing to change the treatment plan of a known suicidal patient because of a research study really is awful.
