Ethics Research on Physician′s Obligation of Informing-the Reflection on a Case of Medical Dispute / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

The realization of patients′right of informed consent depends on the physician′s description of the disease status, medical treatment measures and risks. Performing the obligation of informing according to the laws is conducive to effective communication with patients on the diagnosis and treatment of disease, thereby preventing and reducing medical disputes. Meanwhile, the informing content constitutes its own legal constraint. Based on a case of medical dispute, this paper particularly discussed the performance of obligation of informing, medical risk sharing, as well as the ethical requirements.
