When the patient or his/her attendants get the patient released from the Hospital against the advice of the treating
doctor, taking all the associated risks of leaving the hospital care , it is known as LAMA (Leaving Against Medical
Advice ) .
It is called as DOPR (Discharge On Patient Request ) when patient leaves the hospital prematurely with concurrence of
the treating doctor. In either case the associated risks of leaving the hospital are borne by the patient itself making the
hospital free from such liabilities.
