Zgoda pacjenta warunkiem sine qua non interwencji medycznej
Patient Consent as a Condition sine qua non Medical Intervention

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive legal analysis of the patient’s consent to carry out a medical procedure in the light of national case-law and doctrinal views, including the issue of the act of will of minors. The concept of informed consent of the beneficiary has become a determinant of the scope of medical or nursing intervention, constituting both its legality and the overall relationship of the patient with the medical staff. The synthetic interpretation of the issue also draws attention to the dilemma of the collision of values between the doctor’s action in the defense of the patient’s life and health without obtaining consent to the confluence, and the issue of violation of the test’s right to preservation of inviolability. In light of this, the authors clarify the premises of legal liability of medical staff under Article 192 of the Criminal Code.
