With regard to the decision of the doctor to take in the case of rejection of the patient for treatment, should distinguish between several cases:
1 - Is there a risk of death staring at the patient in the case of rejection or not?
2. Is the operation a normal blood transfusion for a patient who is bleeding or has a very severe anemia, but is a blood transfusion process (as in the case of different blood groups between mother and fetus)?
3. Should the operation be performed immediately as in the case of appendicitis, which has exploded and has been mixed with severe peritoneal inflammation?
4. Is the operation a caesarean section of the mother to save the fetus, which almost suffocates?
Many jurists have recognized that urgency justifies everything except serious error and recklessness in carrying out urgent work. Note that urgency does not mean rushing, we must pay attention to the difference between them.
There are some laws that penalize voluntary abstinence from assistance to a person at risk. In cases of "acute abdominal surgery" (which require urgent surgery to open the abdomen) - there is no place to stop surgical intervention, which Is the only way to save the patient's life.
But we should be well aware that the recognition of this entails the recognition of the appearance of many of the top surgeons before the judiciary, for not respecting the will of the patient who refused treatment !!.
At the same time, leaving the patient dies without helping him .. Arrange the doctor a more serious and more serious .. Especially as he does not imagine to file a lawsuit, or issue a criminal or civil conviction against a doctor because he saved the life of his patient !!.
