Enlightened leaders and managers--even those without clinical backgrounds--find primum non nocere to be a powerful management beacon that explains what we must all do together to protect our patients, even when economic considerations might drive us to generate additional health care services that do not benefit or might pose risks for patients.
They will prefer a doctor who will treat them with respect and consideration; who will listen seriously to their history (the single most important factor in establishing the diagnosis) and complaints; and who, in prescribing medication, will follow the old golden rule of medicine: First, do no harm--Primum non nocere.
Entries--most of which are cross-referenced-such as abortion, eugenics, living will, natural law, primum no nocere and surrogate consent can be found in this glossary-style handbook.
