Law, medicine, and the terminally ill: humanizing the approach to risk management.

In advising health care providers about care of the terminally ill in hospitals, risk managers generally take a legally conservative, narrow, risk avoidance approach. This orientation is generally unnecessary legally, since the legal risks in this context are exaggerated, and often lead to suboptimum medical treatment. A more humanistic approach to risk management should be taken where the terminally ill are involved.

Legal and ethical standards in geriatric medicine.

Several examples of physicians' ethical and legal responsibilities toward older individuals desiring medical care are discussed. The focus is on the older person's ethical and legal right to access to medical services, and on the extent of corresponding obligations of physicians to actuate and fulfill the older person's access rights. The impact of current cost constraints in carrying out these obligations is also discussed.
