More universally...

I have another concern, which is not only for the Japanese medical system.

If a doctor gives information about all the risks,
the possibilities of each treatment not succeeding, or even dying,
would it be possible that they would be able to use that as an excuse
when something bad happens?
Maybe they would be able to protect themselves from
being accused of medical malpractice.

Hmmm... maybe I'm being too negative...
I'd really appreciate any kind of comments.
Thanks.
