Waiver of Patient's Privileges

Authors

De Wolfe Emory

Abstract

It is the purpose here to discuss the circumstances under which a patient is deemed to have waived the privilege veiling commumcations made to his physician, paying more particular attention to the law on that subject as it now exists in this state, in an attempt to arrive at the every-day and practical effect of the claim of privilege upon the ascertainment of truth in the court room.
