Article Description

An emergency team was challenged with ethical issues while managing an unmarried adolescent girl who presented with an acute abdomen wherein a ruptured ectopic pregnancy was suspected. Consent remained at the center of this dilemma given the age of the patient and the nature of the issues. Herein, we deliberate upon the challenges faced by the treating team in accessing the reproductive history, obtaining consent for performing pregnancy tests and for therapeutic interventions.
