Clinical ethics and law in health care system

Abstract

Different situations arise while treating the patients
when there are ethical dilemmas to give one or other
type of treatment or not to do anything. Sometimes
doctors and nurses consider that what is good for the
patient must be done because the patient does not
understand the situation and consequences. This may
lead to complete cure and patient usually goes back
to home happily but sometimes a complication may
occur and the patient may sue the health care
providers. When such situations are analyzed then
principles of ethics and law are considered to see if
any of these have been violated or not to reach the
conclusion. In this study principles of law and ethics
of treatment have been discussed to reach the right
conclusion; which will be helpful in situations where
there are ethical dilemmas during the treatment.
