Event Outline

This book contends that an excessive focus on patient autonomy has distorted negligence principles, fostering uncertainty among healthcare professionals and undermining trust in doctor-patient relationships. It advocates for a shift from an individualistic, rights-based approach to negligence towards a relational perspective emphasizing agency and shared decision-making. Theoretical analysis highlights anomalies in duty of care, standard of care, causation, and damage.
