To Tell the Truth: Physicians' Duty to Disclose Medical MistakesRichard DelgadoSeattle University School of Law Joan E. Vogelaffiliation not provided to SSRN 1980 UCLA Law Review, Vol. 28, 1980 Abstract: Discusses the need for a duty to disclose, showing that the medical community does not effectively self-regulate in this area. Emphasizes the importance of such a duty in light of the inherent inequality between patients and doctors. Establishes the plausibility of the duty to disclose, in order to enable the patient to take corrective action or sue for redress. Outlines the prima facie case for (and defenses to) an action for breach of the duty to disclose medical errors. Anticipates objections to such a duty and responds to them.
