The relationship between patients and doctors has markedly changed over the last century. While until the turn of the 19th/20th century the patient was considered an object upon whom the doctor had the right to exert his art, the patient was then thought to have an integrity which the doctor could only legally injure with the consent of the patient. This was reflected in many court rulings, e.g. in Germany in 1894, requesting a doctor to inform the patient about therapy before performing surgery or even before giving medication, but also before performing invasive diagnostic procedures. The intensity of information required by law/court to be given to the patient varies also over time. Details of the implications to today's medical treatments are discussed.
