VERGES, Claude. What to do when a doctor presents health problems affecting his/her clinical function?. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2017, n.40, pp.83-100. Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.
Like any person, doctors suffer from depression that may affect their clinical performance and patients' security. For institutional authorities these problems represent a dilemma between principles of non-discrimination and justice for them, and those of protection and non- maleficence for the patients. The first two cases in a pediatric hospital provoked the reflection of the clinical docents about medical responsibility in this situation, possibility to study medicine and measures to be taken; as well as docent and psychiatrics responsibility. The results of interview of these docents are presented. The research was approved by the Bioethics Research Committee of the institution.
