Description

A correct medical treatment is carried out with a correct purpose, using a correct means, after a patient's consent is obtained. Informed consent (IC) is to explain exactly medical condition and obtain a patient's consent. In the emergency spot, a medical behavior is started also under the situation of not fulfilling the above-mentioned conditions. It is not always to perform IC with sure legal responsibility and sure duty in that case. In this paper, relation of emergency medical treatment and IC was discussed legally with review of the literatures. A doctor should perform IC in emergency medical treatment, but some defects may arise. Therefore, enrollment of a lawyer should also be taken into consideration. If IC can build the good confidential relation of medical professions and patients, we believe that it leads also to improvement in medical treatment results.
