title: [Professional discretion versus duty to inform of physicians in prisons--from the view of trial lawyers].
abstract: The view of the trial lawyer is the view of the client--meaning the prisoner--which is treated by a physician in a closed institution. Firstly, this view is influenced by prejudice and distrust and a relationship of trust has to be built. According to section 182 of the Code of Penalty Execution, the physicians in a penal institution are bound to professional discretion. The difficulties of physicians and therapists in a closed institution are demonstrated.
