incapable patient Explanation: The American Medical Association (AMA), although endorsing the use of Therapeutic privilege in cases of emergency and imminent risk to the safety of the incapable patient, stated that in cases where there is no emergency it is ethically unacceptable to withhold information without the explicit consent of the patient17. Even on the basis of Law 219/2017 it would seem that there is no margin for the use of the instrument of therapeutic privilege since Italian law has clearly made the acquisition of a complete informed consent in all medical acts (including psychiatric acts) indispensable. https://www.rivistadipsichiatria.it/archivio/3333/articoli/33028/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1352101/ |
