Choices of Japanese patients in the face of disagreement
Article Abstract:
A survey of 307 Japanese hospital patients is discussed assessing their attitudes toward medical care self-determination and how much medical information they would wish to receive if critically ill. Three-quarters thought physicians should routinely ask patients if they would want to be informed of a diagnosis of cancer, while two-thirds thought physicians should tell them of the actual diagnosis, even if the family disagreed.
