The Medico-Legal Aspects of Anaesthesia

ALAN B. NOBLE M.D., F.R.C.P.(C)1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, Sunnybrook Hospital, University of Toronto

If the anaesthetist maintains his ethical and personal responsibilities to his patient and is diligent in the performance of his functions, he is maintaining the obligations established by law. His activities must be supported by a continuing concern for the welfare of the patient. In the event of a complication, honest disclosure is essential, and the records must be adequate. The patient has the right also to make decisions relating to his personal wishes or his religious convictions. The law offers adequate protection to the conscientious, competent physician.
