Medical Ethics and Religious Restrictions on Health Care

Every doctor learns about medical ethics in medical school, specifically about the importance of informed consent. In this video, Dr. Stulberg explains that a patient must be made aware of all standard of care treatment options, including the risks, benefits and alternatives to each path of treatment for any given health care need. Because doctors at religiously affiliated hospitals and facilities often withhold important information about certain treatment options for religious reasons, patients cannot give informed consent. This denial of information, harms the doctor-patient relationship by preventing the patient from being able to make an informed decision about her own health.
