Abstract
The surgeon is consulted by the patient, the situation is fully explained to the patient, the patient agrees to the operation. The patient is anaesthetised. An unexpected situation arises, things are not as the surgeon had imagined. Should he carry on and hope for the best? Or call the whole thing off? The law.
