Senior Member Mahair Posted September 20, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted September 20, 2003 What is the doctors responsibility to a patient when the patient asks about problems or complications of having a proceedure done? Are they bound to reveal the downside of a proceedure when asked or are they allowed to withhold what they beleive might prevent the patient from going forward inspite of the patient voicing his concerns?
