Concerning the physician's duty to disclose information, it has to be distinguished between the information of the diagnosis, the therapeutical instructions on the patient's behaviour and the disclosure of the risks incidental to the treatment. Practically the last-mentioned is the most important, because the effectiveness of the patient's consent depends on its performance. In case the physician violates this duty, he is liable for battery, even if the medical procedure is performed skillfully. The modes of disclosure and its omission for therapeutical reasons are discussed.
关于医生披露信息的职责，必须区分诊断信息、关于患者行为的治疗指导以及治疗附带风险的披露。实际上，最后提到的这一点最为重要，因为患者同意的有效性取决于此。如果医生违反这一职责，即使医疗程序操作熟练，他也应对殴打行为负责。文中讨论了披露的方式以及出于治疗原因而不披露的情况。
