Certain aspects of the provider–patient relationship are widely acknowledged and generally uncontroversial. This relationship is regarded as fiduciary, built on a foundation of trust. Patients entrust their healthcare to the provider, who, in turn, is expected to fulfil specific duties toward the patient. These obligations include: Demonstrating technical competence in the provider’s area of expertise; taking actions to avoid causing harm to the patient (non-maleficence); acting for the patient’s benefit (beneficence); and maintaining confidentiality of patient information under normal circumstances [1].
