Medical Culture's Bias to Actively Intervene Can Undermine Patient Empowerment and Welfare

Description	Journal: American Journal of Bioethics Within the shared decision-making model, clinicians have\ud a responsibility to help patients understand the benefits\ud and risks of all of their health management options so that\ud patients can come to decisions from a position of empowerment.\ud \ud Alongside discussions about the relative benefits\ud and risks of various “active” treatment options, guidelines\ud on shared decision making acknowledge the importance\ud of discussing nonintervention for any given condition.\ud This is naturally assumed to be unbiased information that\ud helps patients arrive at their preferred model of care, taking into account their broader values. \ud \ud However, shared decision making and patient empowerment would be facilitated if doctors and patients recognized that medical culture is deeply inclined toward recommending active treatments in the first place, even in many instances where these interventions tend to result in outcomes that are no better (or worse) than nonintervention
