Derived from the renowned multi-volume _International Encyclopaedia of
Laws_, this convenient volume provides comprehensive analysis of the
law affecting the physician-patient relationship in Norway. Cutting
across the traditional compartments with which lawyers are familiar,
medical law is concerned with issues arising from this relationship,
and not with the many wider juridical relations involved in the
broader field of health care law.
After a general introduction, the book systematically describes law
related to the medical profession, proceeding from training,
licensing, and other aspects of access to the profession, through
disciplinary and professional liability and medical ethics
considerations and quality assurance, to such aspects of the
physician-patient relationship as rights and duties of physicians and
patients, consent, privacy, and access to medical records. Also
covered are specific issues such as organ transplants, human medical
research, abortion, and euthanasia, as well as matters dealing with
the physician in relation to other health care providers, health care
insurance, and the health care system.
Succinct and practical, this book will prove to be of great value to
professional organizations of physicians, nurses, hospitals, and
relevant government agencies. Lawyers representing parties with
interests in Norway will welcome this very useful guide, and academics
and researchers will appreciate its comparative value as a
contribution to the study of medical law in the international context.
