The ethics of defensive medicine, as distinguished from unnecessary testing for reasons other than fear of malpractice suits, and the usefulness its practice affords the physician in court are sharply questioned. Physicians, patients, and society are all adversely affected by its practice. Alternatives are recommended that physicians and organized medicine can employ to minimize malpractice problems.
防御性医疗的伦理道德,与出于担心医疗事故诉讼以外的其他原因进行不必要的检查有所不同,其在法庭上对医生的实用性受到了尖锐质疑。医生、患者和社会都因其实施而受到不利影响。建议医生和有组织的医学界采用一些替代方法,以尽量减少医疗事故问题。
