Abstract:
In the Health-Care system,the right of privacy is an important part for protecting benefits and the trust between doctors and patients.Most of the discussion about privacy in Taiwan is modeled after the West.They assume that every individual is exiting like an atom,and separate the individual from the community.In our society and culture,we look at the individual with a totally different attitude.This paper tries to introduce the western privacy theory and extends its meaning when applying into the relationship between doctors and patients.It analyses the problem of privacy in terms of the participation and status of family members in the signing of the surgical consent form and patient physician relationship and tries to make a comparative studies of the reasonableness feasibility of the exclusion of the participation of the family in the West.
