Kliničke etičke dvojbe u teoriji i praksi

Abstract

Along with daily problems that medical doctors face on working in medical services, they often wonder whether all of the patient's rights have been respected during treatment and rehabilitation. Consequently, a neurologist is reassessing his decisions on therapy and rehabilitation prescribed. Medical ethics is based on Hippocratic Oath as the original source of all medical codes, which implies that it is honorable duty of every medical doctor to devote his life orientation and profession to the health of human beings. While working, medical doctor holds up to his conscience that has been sculptured during upbringing, education and professional development. The practice of medicine is not just a professionally performed work but a calling with a firm moral basis that respects all human rights and dignity of the patient.
