Because proving a physician's contractual liability requires proving guilt, a physician's obligation in the form of a medical contract is an instrumental obligation. In addition, in these contracts, the position and role of the patient's consent to the physician's actions and the condition of the physician's innocence from the possible losses resulting from the treatment are important. The element of consent and compromise of the parties to the medical contract plays an important role in relieving the physician of his responsibility and his exemption from warranty and even moving the load.
