The doctrine of informed consent has had its practical introduction to medical malpractice litigation in the past five years. Its definition has not changed since the days when its definitive application was only a fond dream of the malpractice plaintiffs attorneys. However, with neh new methods of presenting this theory to the courts, and with the newly emerging practice fo having rulings on matters of law substituted by judges for prevailing standards of medical practice, the implications for family physicians have become tremendous. Hopefullum by understanding the principles involved in its application in the pertinent landmark cases, family physicians will be better able to abid the pitfalls engendered by the doctrine of informed consent.
在过去五年中，知情同意原则已实际引入医疗事故诉讼。自从其最终应用还只是医疗事故原告律师的美好梦想的那些日子以来，其定义就没有改变过。然而，随着向法院阐述这一理论的新方法出现，以及法官用法律事项裁决取代现行医疗实践标准的新做法出现，对家庭医生的影响变得巨大。希望通过理解在相关标志性案例中应用该原则所涉及的原则，家庭医生将能更好地避开知情同意原则带来的陷阱。
