Let’s Be Reasonable: Surgical Informed Consent in the COVID-19 Era

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Mini-Abstract Our perspective on informed consent is that expanding the duty to disclose novel uncertainties (eg, the covid-19 pandemic) stretches the doctrine to almost limitless proportions. Instead, we argue for a more conventional view in which the informed consent process should remain focused on the proposed operation and its ramifications.
