With all due respect, Mr. Chair, I'm seeing the common sense in terms of a charge or somebody who's reporting this. I would say that for a doctor attending a patient who is clearly under duress and says, “I'm going to cut your hands off”, I don't think that doctor is going to say, “I felt threatened by that.” I think there's common sense that would come into play and that doctor would probably be the first to say that, clearly, that patient was under duress and did not understand what they were saying or doing at that time.
