Abstract

Recently we frequently hear the word "informed consent". I give an example for discussing this theme based on clinical experience in Germany. In many institutes, doctors use panphlets for explaining the disease, operative procedure and complication to the patients or families. These panphlets are very useful for explaining and saving time. The patients are supposed to come to the doctor after reading this panphlet for further inquiries. But in comparison to Japan, the time spent for explaining these matter is very short in Germany. In case of heart transplantation, doctors try to explain very minute details about the procedure, preope and postoperative course to the patient or family. I think, the most important thing about informed consent is to explain all the details repeatedly, over and over again, with great eagerness.
