According to an article from MedScape, a court has ruled that a lawsuit can move forward against an oncologist who supposedly contributed to a patient’s death by administering chemotherapy without her consent.
If that is true, then this could be a major medical malpractice and wrongful death case. When it comes to consent, we know that doctors and surgeons must explain all of the risks associated with procedures to patients. If they fail to do so, they cannot get an informed consent from the patient.
We know that there are risks when it comes to any medical procedure, whether it is a medication being given, a surgery is performed, or even something as simple as physical therapy.
