A consultant anaesthetist gave a diclofenac suppository for postoperative pain to a patient having four teeth extracted under general anaesthesia in the dental surgery. He did not seek the patient's specific consent preoperatively for use of the suppository but told her afterwards what he had done. Charged before the professional conduct committee of the General Medical Council with failure to obtain informed consent and assault, the anaesthetist was found guilty of serious professional misconduct and admonished. This decision has far reaching implications and has caused great concern.
一名麻醉顾问医生在牙科手术室为一名在全身麻醉下拔除四颗牙齿的患者使用双氯芬酸栓剂以缓解术后疼痛。他术前未征得患者对使用该栓剂的明确同意，但事后告知了她自己所做的事情。该麻醉医生被指控向英国医学总会专业行为委员会隐瞒未能获得知情同意及侵犯行为，被判严重职业不当行为罪名成立并受到训诫。这一决定影响深远，引发了极大关注。
