When the clinician and patient are unable to reconcile differences over treatment, does this mean the latter lacks capacity to decide in such matters? Wellesley analyse the legal judgements in the case of Ms Sudiksha Thirumalesh where, on the particulars, the Court of Protection answered yes, only for the Court of Appeal to disagree. The authors highlight concerns about using isolated false belief as an indicator of incapacity and advise that such matters may be better resolved by greater discussion of the benefits and burdens of treatment, alongside consideration of their costs. Here, I suggest that a disability perspective is also helpful to such cases, recognising that this was a disagreement from which the patient couldn't walk away.

Law at China University of Geosciences (Beijing), No.29 Xueyuan Road, Haidian District,Beijing,100083, China.
Under the background of medical disputes growing in number, scale and intensity, tracing back legal changes in medical field as a breakthrough point, this paper took a legal perspective to illustrate changes in medical dispute settlements from legislative orientation to legal system improvement. In view of the fact that early legislation in medical field was biased towards identification and punishment of doctors' responsibility, and later intensive legislation in balancing increasing "medical trouble" phenomenon with limited effects and difficulties to abide by the law, this paper proposed to improve doctor-patient dispute settlements system in China referencing from foreign law experience, to reduce investigation of doctors at the judicial level, and to establish a settlement mechanism on doctors' apology at the legislative level, so as to promote a healthy development of doctor-patient relationship.
