Or if you buy a piece of electrical equipment that doesn't do what the seller says it will do, you should get your money back.

If she spoke to your pdoc without asking your permission first, for example (sorry, I can't remember how it all happened). It might depend on NZ confidentiality regulations. My T asked me in my first session if he could speak to my other doctors about me. But he wouldn't have spoken to them without my permission.
