National Patient's Bill of Rights?
96740
It's like crossing the street.  A pedestrian has the right of way, however, the law doesn't actually protect you in any way from potentially being hit.\n\nLikewise, when receiving health care you must take responsibility and be focused every step of the way.

In Britain we pay for the NHS, so everyone has a right to life. This doesn't really kick in until you see someone collapse in front of your eyes and know that if it wasn't for the NHS they might have to die there.

You cannot take a person out of the hospital unless you are the legal guardian or Power of Attorney.  ANY patient can sign a release and be discharged from a hospital AMA (Against Medical Advice).  It does not matter if treatment exists for your disease or not.  It is your body, and you can do what you want with it, regarding medical care.  You have the right to refuse treatment, as long as you are mentally capable enough to do so.

Not real sure what you want?\n\nTry looking at The United States Bill Of Rights.\n\nFree - speech, religion, right to trial, right of privacy, right to own property, etc.

I would say "yes" but with reservations. The legislation has to be carefully worded so there is no possibility for abuse. \n\nMy concerns revolve around the potential to euthanize the patient out of "convenience"...convenience to the family that doesn't want to bear the expense of keeping the "loved one" alive or convenience to the medical facility that wants the bed or the patient is a financial drain on their health care system, i.e., someone without insurance.\n\nThe legislation would have to demand four things be done prior to euthanizing the patient for me to be comfortable with it: (1) a signed and witnessed document stating the patient's desires, (2) euthanasia would only be done to someone who has a terminal illness and death is imminent (maybe six months), (3) the patient has been evaluated to ensure that he/she is not just depressed or is unaware of other treatment options, and (4) that the terminal nature of the patient's disease/condition has to be validated by more than one physician.

Many rights. From informed consent selecting treatment to right to complain results of procedures.

Same as every other caring nation!!!!\nCount the number of people admitted to hospital added to the number of people attending outpatients minus the number of holes in the ground that are dug.

See US Constitution:  Bill of Rights.\n\nAs written, not as perverted by activist justices.

With all due respect, your stated desire doesn’t make any sense.  The ten articles of the United States Bill of Rights are written in clear language with most economical use of the language.  There are only 462 words of content in all ten amendments.\n\nIt would be interesting to know what is your intended use.  In my seminars I find that rather than summarize them I have to expand from both a origin perspective as well as from a case law perspective.  To do less is to cloud them in misunderstandings.     \n\nIf this is a class project, have your instructor contact me and I'll explain why this is not possible, something the instructor should already know.

You just have to read each of the amendments, and do it yourself. Then look on line for summaries and explanations, (search "bill of rights", "US constitution")then just rephrase.

I am not sure what you are actually asking.  Are you asking to find the definition to work out whose patient it is?  Whenever we have a patient who "overlaps" different facilities,  responsibilty for the administration is shared but treatment responsibility lies with where the client is actually located.\n\nI think that this should help\nhttp://www.direct.gov.uk/DisabledPeople/HealthAndSupport/YourRightsInHealth/HealthRightsArticles/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4014771&chk=jVhUS1\n\nor this\nhttp://www.dh.gov.uk/PublicationsAndStatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidanceArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4133839&chk=RJV7mg

the 9th amendment protects ALL other rights that aren't mentioned in the Bill of Rights. the people of the US aren't limited to JUST those rights, and all their other rights must be upheld in the court of law\n\nthat article explains it very well!

The Bill of Rights tell you what  rights as a private citizen of this country you're entitled to.\n The Constitution tells how the government is formed,the different branches and levels of government. And,how it works explaining what it can and cannot do.\n Some of the rights I enjoy are "The right to assemble". \n                                                       "The right to keep and bear arms".\n                                                       "The right to trial by jury". Over the years, I've met several people on the Net and some of them have told me that they wished that their governments allowed  a trial by jury. I tell them that most people in this country avoid jury duty like as if it was a plague and an inconvenience of their time. If you don't use it,you WILL lose it.

As I understand the basics of the legal arguments here, its about freedom of choice.....an interesting concept, when the federal government spends millions of dollars every year to treat self-induced cancer.\n\nI feel about this one the same way I feel about helmet laws.  If you want to smoke or not wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle, fine.  But sign a waiver saying you won't take a dime from taxpayers to treat the result of your foolish decisions.

Sadly there likely is a website explaining the very thing you ask.  However I would caution you in doing so.  Your writing structure is decent so I'm guessing you are educated to some degree and either trying to make a statement or just have shitty insurance.  Could be you are just a regular middle class person like myself who is frightened to go to the doctor in fear of having to take a second mortgage out on your house to have any medical procedure done.  I think your question belongs before the house of representatives, not in this forum.  There are millions, no probably more than that, Americans in the same situation asking themselves the same question.  Pathetic really and very very sad.
