In the past, consent was never required to perform treatment on a person. However, as medicine and science began to advance at a rapid pace, there came hundreds of new machines/procedures incorporated into treatments, and patients need to be well informed of what will happen to them before undergoing any type of procedure. Furthermore, patients have the ability to become more informed about what is happening to them if they know what type of condition/disease is affecting them, therefore they become more biased in the types of treatment they will receive. Sometimes they will feel uncomfortable with certain types of procedures and since nowadays the patient's permission to carry out any type of treatment is crucial, in the medical field there are often situations where a doctor feels the need to act immediately to save a patient. However, due to the high risk of legal action, doctors should put their instincts aside and not undertake treatments that have not been approved on the patient's consent form. At many points in a doctor's life, he/she will be forced to make a decision between doing what is morally right to try to potentially save a patient or putting his/her values ​​aside to avoid a malpractice lawsuit. For example, a case involving a vascular surgeon, Dr. V, who owns his own practice, was sued. It simply states that they must treat patients to the best of their ability, ensure patient privacy, and pass on their knowledge to others. the next generation. This document represents the relationship between medicine and society, that is, the obligations of healthcare professionals in helping their patients, but as time passes, the content of the oath does not adequately show the role of the doctor in society (Cruess, Richard and Sylvia Cruess ). Nowadays, the doctor's obligation is not only to the patient, but to society as a whole. They are expected to meet the expectations held to them and heed the orders of what patients want because of “extraordinary advances in medical practice… [which] have brought about a fundamental change in this long-held belief and have established an attitude of disclosure” (Green, Douglas and Ronald MacKenzie). The simple process of going to the doctor to get treatment has turned into a person going to the doctor and choosing the treatment that he feels is best for him, and if the doctor goes against his will, it would lead to legal issues. Thus, demonstrating that the tradition of medicine has been modified to care for patients rather than administering the best possible course of treatment for patients.
