Paper Summary:
This paper discusses a case study concerning a patient infected with hepatitis B and her doctor's obligation to respect the patient's rights to confidentiality. The paper explains that, in this particular case, the patient's autonomy is not respected. The patient is not only competent but well-informed about the hepatitis B antigen, but the doctor insists on focusing on the patient's sex life when unprotected sex is only one of five possible causes of hepatitis B. The paper points out that the crucial point in this case is that the doctor makes an agreement with her over consent. The paper then argues that the doctor should maintain patient confidentiality.More papers on Patient Confidentiality:
