"Let’s stop consenting patients" http://www.bmj.com/content/348/bmj.g2192 … >Wish I could see this article. Suspect I'd have plenty to say if I could...
@Cleverestcookie In my experience, that can depend on who's paying the tab, but fingers crossed you're right with them having that CV.

@C7RKY in an article I'd expect it. -
@Cleverestcookie I may invest in a subscription at some point - see if there's anything worth debating/quoting in there. Important subject. -
@C7RKY I've read the article, it was pitched as I anticipated proposing gaining proper consent from patient rather than 'doing it to them' -
@Cleverestcookie That's good to hear, thanks Cathy. Looks like the courts are starting to agree with the author too > http://ukhumanrightsblog.com/2015/03/13/supreme-court-reverses-informed-consent-ruling-sidaway-is-dead/#more-25512 … -
@C7RKY then that's fine (and needs recording). If patient/carer makes a choice themselves then that's fine (and needs recording). -
@Cleverestcookie That's exactly how I see it too. Now all we have to do is get reality to catch up. :) -
@C7RKY stop clinicians being paternalistic. However, patients need to realise it's their decision and they take responsibility for it -
@Cleverestcookie V much so. I think this emphasises the futility of that choice to be responsible tho, if you don't have the neccesary info. - 10 more replies
