If a physician examines a patient without consent can he or she be charged with an offense?
SherriMoretz
That would depend upon the existing circumstances. A patient who is concious and coherent under most circumstances has the right to refuse to be examined and/or treated by any medical person or institution. In a situation where a person is not able to make such a decision as could happen in an ER admittance, will be examined/treated according to their specific injuries. Generally the hospital or doctor must have a release signed by the person being attended or if a minor a parent(s), guardian or other person with authority or in cases where a person is mentally incompetent it is a "judgment call" as prescribed under existing laws until the legalities can be addressed by the court and/or responsible agency.
