• My Doctor Won't Let Me Sue Him

Q The gynecologist I've seen for seven years has begun requiring patients to waive their right to a day in court and to accept binding arbitration to settle any potential disputes, or she will not treat them. I sought care elsewhere but discovered that nearly all ob-gyn practices in the area make the same demand. Is this policy ethical? A It is not. The law may allow it, and (except in an emergency) medical ethics permit doctors to choose their patients, but a doctor's criteria for choosing are still subject to scrutiny. Your doctor has instituted a dismal policy that compels patients to surrender a basic legal right in order to receive medical care.

In the face of a large scale World Health Organisation (WHO) promotion of male circumcision as a means to reduce risk of HIV infection in Africa, the new campaign seeks to redress the balance by making the public aware of the strongly conflicting evidence around the effects of circumcision, and the mixed evidence about its value in HIV prevention, and by promoting the fundamental concept of informed choice in medical treatment.
