Question XII

2018 Bar · Remedial Law · 1 sub-question

XII. Dodo was knocked unconscious in a fist fight with Dindo. He was rushed to the emergency room of the Medical City where he was examined and treated by Dr. Datu. As he was being examined, a plastic sachet appearing to contain shabu fell from Dodo's jacket which was on a chair beside him. Dodo was thus arrested by the same policemen who assisted him to the hospital. At Dodo's trial, the public prosecutor called Dr. Datu to the witness stand. When the public prosecutor asked Or. Datu as to what he saw in the emergency room, Dodo's counsel objected, claiming doctor-patient privilege rule. How would you rule on the objection? (2.5%)
