Le devoir d'information du Médecin (CAA de Nantes ; 2 juin 2016)

Every physician has a duty of information. He must tell the patient the risk as and benefices of the treatments. Some authors write actually that it is a legal duty and not only a contractual one. But, there is not only the physician; there is also the private or public hospital. That institution ought to present to the patient a competent professional and to inform the public herself about the specialties offered. The judgement tries to precise the parts of those informations.
