J. Bioeth. VL - 5 IS - 1 SE - Case studies DO - 10.7202/1087216ar UR - https://cjb-rcb.ca/index.php/cjb-rcb/article/view/311 SP - 149-151 AB - Being truthful with patients is a critical foundation of the doctor-patient relationship and is fundamental to development of trust. A professional commitment to truth telling may sometimes contradict other principles of bioethics, which may challenge decision-making for the doctor and/or the treatment team. Practitioners may fail to address all ethical or legal aspects of a case and therefore make inappropriate decisions. ER -
