AB - Ethical issues in medicine are often accompanied by legal issues. While it is important to take the legal
aspects of a medical ethical problem into consideration, following the law does not always ensure an
ethical outcome. Moreover, not all ethical issues in medical practice have a legal component, and the law
is limited procedurally as a means of dispute resolution. In this article we argue that medical
professionals should have a general understanding of both medical ethics and medical law and have the
ability to analyze the ethical and legal issues involved in medical practice. Furthermore, we claim that
improving physician-patient communication is an important goal of medical ethics education not only
from an ethical point of view, but also from a legal point of view, insofar as it may help to prevent future
lawsuits against physicians.
