Abstract: (CIT): Clinical medicine emphasizes the importance of allowing patients to make decisions about their medical care, and control information about their medical conditions. Clinical medicine also emphasizes the importance of the integrity of patients' medical records. How should clinicians react when these two values conflict? How should clinicians respond when patients request that items be changed or deleted from their record out of concern that it may pose harm to them? NIH Clinical Center Ethics Grand Rounds.
