Chapter 2 deals specifically with the topic of informed consent, an essential legal requirement for the general practice of medicine. Some of the cases are specific to mental health treatment, but most are critical to defining the standards of informed consent and are related to more purely medical conditions. Cases described here include Natanson v. Kline, Canterbury v. Spence, Kaimowitz v. Michigan Department of Mental Health, Truman v. Thomas, Clites v. Iowa, and Zinermon v. Burch.

Before And After

Background: Knowledge of hand anatomy and pathology is important for final year medical students as it frequently appears in examinations as a short case or in a written paper. Studies have shown that doctors in the Emergency Department have a deficient grasp of musculoskeletal anatomy secondary to a lack of dedicated teaching in medical school. Methods: A questionnaire was handed out to 111 final year medical students. Students were asked to fill it out before and after dedicated upper limb teaching sessions during their rotation. The questionnaire consisted of an anatomical and pathological component. Students were tested on basic anatomy and pathology of several common upper limb conditions. Results: There was a significant improvement in the medical students knowledge after the dedicated hand teaching. The identification of the carpal bones showed the most improvement overall. Conclusions: Basic musculoskeletal knowledge is essential to the practice of medicine. The majority of medical students gravitate towards a career in general practice or emergency medicine and good knowledge of upper limb anatomy is important. We have piloted a new interactive dedicated upper limb teaching module and have shown that there has been a significant improvement in students knowledge.
