摘要：
• The legal duties of a doctor attending a “difficult” patient with a serious condition do not end at the last consultation, especially in a small rural community. • Doctors have a continuing obligation to ensure that the patient’s health is not impaired because the clinical relationship has ended. • This article suggests some steps that a doctor could take to fulfi l the legal obligation in such a case. © 2014, MJA.
