ABSTRACT
The pragmatic values are focused on the individual undergoing a radiological examination, the principle of solidarity points to the larger context. The term paternalistic has been from time to time in the discussion, particularly when a doctor decides without involving the patient. This is of course a failure of respect for autonomy. But inclusiveness requires that the attitude of the doctor is one of active involvement of the patient. This can raise questions for both the health system and the individual doctor when it comes to allotting enough time to each patient for inclusive decision making. Empathy in Earlier Scenarios could be argued that showing empathy to the patient is hardly something that can be demanded of the doctor, as it seems rather a character trait that one has or has not. But, we are of the opinion that at least certain manifestations of empathy can be trained.
