Gynecologists’ Tort Liability on the Violation of the Doctrine of Informed Consent in the Practice of Vaginal Exam
婦科醫師施行陰道內檢查時應踐行充分告知並取得病人同意，以尊重病人的身體自主權，當婦科醫師違反「告知後同意法則」，應對病人負侵權責任。本文探討告知後同意法則之請求權基礎，以及侵權責任成立之要件，亦即內診醫師告知義務範圍與因果關係之認定等，提供病人於請求賠償時之參酌。
Tort liability can ensue when a gynecologist violates the doctrine of informed consent for women undergoing a vaginal exam. In order for a patient to recover for negligence, she must prove that the doctor’s breach of his duty to disclose information was the proximate cause of damage to her. This Article exams two distinct standards of care to measure the sufficiency of physicians’ disclosures in informed consent cases, and addresses the standards to determine the causation element of tort liability.
