10. I disagree. But if you want to make it about MHSG practice then...

I would say you skated along the outer margins of the envelope of long standing practices of MHSG and more generally DU.

It seems plain enough you went beyond the other DUer's boundaries of comfort, regardless of intent. That's the stuff of which apologies can be built.

You took information you knew from MHSG and acted on it outside of MHSG. As it turns out, that was done in a manner that was objectionable to the person you contacted. Regardless of your intent.

You invoked a very common stigmatizing phrase (you need your meds checked) against the mentally ill, even if your intent was good that's an exceptionally tricky business.

You played MD by long distance when you started dx'ing mania, even if your intent was good.
