Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate, in the context of bioethics, the frequency and characteristics of the opinionconsultations of the Conselho Regional de Medicina (Regional Medicine Council) of the state of São Paulo concerning the doctor-patient relationship. The sample was based on the opinion-consultations published on the Regional Council website relating to the descriptors “doctor-patient relationship”, “bioethics – bioethic – bioethical” and “medical ethics”. The total number of opinion-consultations identified was 5,012, of which
2,717 (54.2%) were related to the descriptor “medical ethics”, 111 (2.21%) were related to the descriptors “bioethics – bioethic – bioethical” and 163 (3.25%) were related to the descriptor “doctor-patient relationship”.
It was concluded that the frequency of opinion-consultations related to bioethics and the doctor-patient relationship is relatively small when compared to thenumber of opinion-consultations related to medical ethics, and that there is a predominance of deontological and administrative aspects in the opinionconsultations focused on the doctor-patient relationship, in comparison with bioethic aspects. In addition, the opinion-consultations and publications of this Regional Council influenced Conselho Federal de Medicina (Federal Council of Medicine) resolutions and the updating of the Code of Medical Ethics.

Keywords:
