摘要: [Ann Emerg Med. 2007;49:231-233.] Aside from their professional responsibility, physicians also have a moral and legal obligation to provide patients with the information necessary make informed decisions. Communicating honestly so that they may participate in decisionmaking is recent, rather than historical, imperative. Based on respect for patients, this cooperative physician-patient relationship reverses time-honored paternalism that, since Hippocratic times, has guided physician interactions patients. In article, Cowan et al 1 imply emergency should get consent before administration of intravenous radiographic contrast material. To assess claim, we first must review background for, methods of, obtaining consent.
