Thesis (LL.M.)--McGill University (Canada), 1998.

This paper examines legal and ethical issues facing physicians working in an environment of cost-cutbacks, competition for medical resources and lengthy waiting lists for treatment. The legal portion of the paper considers how a tort claim could be advanced by a (former) patient against a physician in the guise of a standard-of-care argument, as a breach of fiduciary duty, or as a failure to obtain informed consent.

520 $a This paper examines legal and ethical issues facing physicians working in an environment of cost-cutbacks, competition for medical resources and lengthy waiting lists for treatment. The legal portion of the paper considers how a tort claim could be advanced by a (former) patient against a physician in the guise of a standard-of-care argument, as a breach of fiduciary duty, or as a failure to obtain informed consent.
520 $a The bioethics portion of the paper examines the short-comings of professional codes and presents a system of ethical analysis for physicians to follow as a practical tool for difficult decisions.
520 $a Since the extent of the physician's legal duty of care is unclear with respect to resource allocation issues, it is possible that bioethics, can provide assistance by heightening physician awareness regarding these types of dilemmas, by increasing physician-patient communication and by encouraging physicians to utilize a systematic method of ethical analysis.
