Duties clash, Australian doctor urges reform at WMA
An Australian doctor told the World Medical Association in Ottawa that physicians face a growing conflict between public duties and patient secrecy. Sir Geoffrey Newman-Morris of Melbourne urged the group to update declarations on abortion and patient confidentiality. De A.M. Maiden of Lincoln, England backed the call, noting the need to balance privacy with safety as doctors treat epilepsy patients who drive. The WMA’s 25th assembly did not commit to changes before wider dissemination to medical graduates via national bodies.
