An Evil Influence (1) (1973x141)

Date de diffusion: Oct 15, 1975

GP Dr. Thanet is suing Winifred Phelps for libel. She published material accusing him of distributing the contraceptive pill to underage girls - including her then 15 year old daughter Linda - on demand and being "an evil influence" in the community. Linda has since disappeared. Dr. Thanet disputes the claims. He is unwilling to break patient confidentiality by revealing his treatment of Linda but insists that he would never prescribe the pill "on demand" and urged Linda to consult with her mother.
