The Clinical Relationship Can Be Exploited

Captions available

The idea

Caution is required in clinical contexts because the potential exists to exploit patients as research subjects, since what is best for a study may not be what is best for a patient.

In practice

A clinician asking their own patient to enrol.

Where people slip

The patient's trust was established for care and is being borrowed for research, and they may not experience the two as separable.
