[quote=Anonymous]I had my entire colon removed at the Mayo Clinic and in consenting me, they did not go into the level of detail folks here are describing. In fact, the surgeon almost forgot it, said “oops, I have to consent you,” took me back into the room and said “It’s surgery, there is risk of blood loss, the surgery may not succeed, possible outcomes include death” and I nodded and that was it. I am sure I signed a form at some point. I think docs and practices insisting on the level of detail described above are sadists. Sometimes you have no choice but to have one of them operate on you, but the idea that it is somehow inevitable or required to be done in exactly this way is nonsense.[/quote]
