Slide 8

怎樣分析個案
有沒有「倫理」問題?(道德上的「應否」的
問題)?
 有沒有法例的規定?有沒有適用的機構指引

 有關個案的已知事實是什麼?有沒有欠缺什
麼資料?
 專業的觀點 vs.市民/病人的觀點
 醫生的觀點 vs.醫療管理決策的觀點
 基本倫理原則如何應用於具體個案?

Slide 9

個案一:「愛滋醫生」之死
愛滋醫生墮樓兩月才公佈生前手術千宗 周一嶽:
暫毋須追蹤 2012年3月18日
「愛滋醫生」140病人須驗血 2012年3月27日
「東區醫院一名三十多歲的外科醫生於一月中在寓所墜樓
身亡,其後被證實生前是愛滋病帶菌者,醫院管理局隨即
通知衞生署展開調查,商討跟進工作。愛滋病與醫護人員
專家組主席林大慶教授昨在會議後宣布,將於首階段先為
一百四十名病人進行快速病毒測試及輔導,其後再商討是
否需要進一步擴大跟進範圍。」

資助補打

民意大還是科學大?

Slide 12

「13價」疫苗的補種問題

Slide 20

良好的醫患關係
一般指醫生與病人的關係(doctor-patient
relationship) ;現代醫療中亦可包含其他
醫護人員。在公共醫療,臨床服務常以團隊
(clinical team)方式操作。
 何謂良好的醫患關係可受價值觀的影響。在
現代醫療,有時亦須要考慮其他持分者(例如
親屬)

Slide 21

價值觀與醫患關係:「專業(重新)
主導」




General Practitioner in Glasgow
BMJ Columnist
Blogger: Bad4umedicine.blogspot.com

「現代醫療的框框套套弄得太繁複了。照顧病人,「質素」可
以很簡單。」
‘Modern medicine is overcomplicated and pseudoscientific.

We talk obsessively of structures and organisations, but in
truth quality of care is simple’ (The Dying Deserve Better of
GPs)

「縱壞病人不是好醫生。要什麼就給什麼不是專業責任。」
‘I am wary of the too kind, the too good looking, the too

generous, the too polite, the too thin, and the too earnest—
because they are always fake. Gullibility is a flaw in medicine,
because our job is to give patients what they need, not what
they want.’

21


Slide 22

Des Spence: 醫患關係出了什麽毛病?
‘Despite modern medicine’s supposed so called patient
centredness, the medical model (that all symptoms have
a pathological cause, to investigate, treat, and cure) is
absolutely still the prevailing mindset within medicine…
“you can’t go against the evidence.” The rise of the
superspecialist means absolutism is now the norm not
the exception. The paradox is that medicine is
supposedly more enlightened, but it has never been
more tyrannical, hierarchical, controlled, intolerant, and
dogmatic.’ (BMJ Vol. 344, 25 June 2012)

Question: Liberal or conservative?

Slide 23

價值觀與醫患關係:病人(絕對)自
主觀點
Donald M. Berwick (born 1946) is a former Administrator
of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Prior to
his work in the administration, he was President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Institute for Healthcare
Improvement (IHI).
On June 18, 2013, Berwick declared his candidacy for
governor of Massachusetts.

三點堅持:
 病人的需要最優先 “The needs of the patient
come first.”
 「一切先問過我」 “Nothing about me without
me.”
 每個病人都是唯一的病人 “Every patient is the
only patient.”

Slide 24

醫患關係的三種模式
1. Paternalistic (家長式)
2. Contractual (合約關係)
3. Fiduciary (受託關係; Fiduciary duty:
受託責任)

Slide 27

Supplementary materials:
Ethical theories related to
resource allocation and
prioritization

27


Slide 28

Ethical Theory in Prioritization (I)


Most simply, prioritization of health care should be according
to health needs:
 Needs as determined by professional assessment
 Patient choice weighs little in this approach, as the
underlying value is that of Beneficence
 Aims to be neutral to other value judgments (e.g. social
economic background, life-styles)
 Limitation: Difficult to compare medical benefits across
different patient groups (e.g. acute thrombolytic service
for stroke vs renal dialysis)
 Professional consensus does not automatically translate
into publicly acceptable policy
28


Slide 29

Ethical Theory in Prioritization (II)


Egalitarianism:





Emphasizes equity and equal access
In healthcare, equal opportunity translates into equal
chance to be assessed or triaged, not actually equal
sharing of scarce services
May be problematic when there is critical shortage of
resources (e.g. inadequate vaccine supply in epidemic
situation; obstetric beds for mainland pregnant
women)

29


Slide 30

Ethical Theory in Prioritization (III)


Libertarian principle





The opposite of egalitarianism: emphasizes
personal choice and personal responsibilities
Allows individuals free choice to decide what levels
of health care they would prefer (e.g. opening more
private beds in public hospitals; the idea of having
choice of doctors by paying more)
The society may aid those without sufficient
resources to pay for health care needs on
humanitarian grounds, but it is not provided on the
basis of social justice or patient rights.
30


Slide 31

Ethical Theory in Prioritization (IV)


Utilitarian principle:




Prioritization by cost-effectiveness (e.g. when
introducing new drugs and technology)
Justified by the intention to “maximize health gain”
for a population.
Not all utilitarian theories advocate a “maximizing
principle. A moderate approach is to adopt the
Principle of Proportionality, which implies that some
health care will always be allocated to those with
lesser needs, even though the more needy will receive
more
31


Slide 32

Ethical Theory in Prioritization (V)


Communitarianism:








Considers societal values and local context
Societal values are often implicitly reflected
in ”Macro” allocation levels, e.g. the proportion
of resources to be allocated to take care of the
elderly, the mentally ill, sick children
Challenge: Not easy to engage the community to
assess societal values in the complex subject of
health care resource allocation
Professional views and community views may be
different
Example: end of life decision making – individual
patient decision or consensus building with family?
