Medical consent is a communication process between you and your health care practitioner that frequently results in agreement or authorization for care, treatment, or services.If adult patients are intellectually capable of making their own decisions, medical treatment cannot begin until they provide medical permission.Before you decide what to do, the medical consent procedure ensures that your health care professional has provided you with information about your illness, as well as testing and treatment alternatives.
This information may consist of:
Your condition’s name
The name of the operation or therapy that the doctor suggests
Treatment or procedure risks and advantages
Other choices, such as not having the surgery or treatment, have risks and advantages.
