Document Summary
The doctor patient relationship is different: discipline manners have changed (makes the task of hc providers more challenging), paternalism (father like, to do things that are done for the benefit of another person even if the person doesn"t consent to it) to autonomy. (patients have to be informed and not just trust the doctors knowing) But following these rules will not be enough: the rules may presuppose that you"re already familiar with hc ethics, no set of rules can anticipate all the contingencies that might arise you must have your own skills to fall back on, you might be the one who has to make the rules, you"re responsible for your actions, we don"t need a philosophy to tell us right from wrong: Investigation and explore a wide range of issues in health care.
