La responsabilidad médica profesional ante el empoderamiento del paciente.

Abstract

Professional medical responsibility in the face of patient empowerment is a novel concept, recently incorporated by the World Health Organization (WHO), this criterion was issued with the aim of publicizing the scope of decisions that users may have. of health today to decide once the doctor's diagnosis is received as a professional the treatment to follow. At the level of the doctrine, several discussions and questions have been opened regarding the scope of civil liability that the doctor may have as a health professional in relation to the procedure carried out before the patient. From what has been exposed so far, it seems that there is a certain synergy between the doctor-patient relationship, but it is precisely in this sense that this research is focused. What happens when the professional judgment of the doctor is rejected outright by the patient and the doctor? Decide not to continue with the treatment yourself, putting your life at risk? It is at this point when this new model of thought supposes that there should be a new model of regulation around medical practice, which is why it invites us to become fully intimate in the consideration of informed consent.
