@Josquidgylawton I'm a simple man. I believe in health issues, nobody has the right to play ANY politics. Dishonesty is the real abuse here.
@Josquidgylawton In my case, we're talking about consent itself too - hence 'assault'. But 'informed consent' is what makes doctors nervous.

@C7RKY in my view there is nothing other than "informed" consent.......drs have to realise pts have a RIGHT to know what is going to be done -
@Josquidgylawton This is like the candour debate. Currently consent is criminal, informed consent is covered by prof codes. Only 1 has teeth -
@C7RKY we have a responsibility to ensure that what the pt has consented to is what the pt has done! -
@Josquidgylawton I realise that. I also know if both pages of consent form are retained, other procedures/risks can be added after signing! -
@C7RKY that is downright unethical and I would say immoral! -
@Josquidgylawton Oh, and just have to add to that list an important omission - it's also 'downright unlawful'! Assault & battery in fact. -
@C7RKY I for one often question what on earth I'm doing in nursing!!!!!!! -
@Josquidgylawton From talking to you, I'd say you're EXACTLY the type we need in nursing. Please don't leave. We must work together somehow. - 19 more replies

@C7RKY if that means taking time to ensure the patient/rels understand then so be it!! -
@Josquidgylawton You'd be amazed how much effort is made to make sure ALL options & risks of each are explained to me now - why not before? -
@C7RKY my mum a retired nurse had surgery! She told the surgeon in no uncertain terms she was consenting for 1 op only...had to wake her up! -
@Josquidgylawton I swear, my mum is V aware. She was absolutely clear with the surgeon too. He should have stopped. He didn't. Just ignored. -
@C7RKY that is disgusting.....I am horrified that things like this really do go on........
