[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD22 was in and out of ER and urgent cares with gastrointestinal and menstrual issues over the course of two years. She got a pregnancy test run every time.

Please read what I wrote - The pregnancy test itself is not the issue, it is the lack of it being done without her knowledge. She should at least have the right to consent or decline.  She would have consented of course, but should she not be allowed to have that right to decline? And she only found out about the test being run when she got her bill.  It is an issue of rights, consent and principle. [/quote]

Why is it so hard to understand that consenting to "the usual tests" does in fact include consenting to a pregnancy test?  If she didn't want to consent to/pay for specific usual tests (pregnancy is a very very usual test!) she needed to ask for more details or specifically state "I do not consent to pregnancy test."  She absolutely has the right to decline standard of care, and she chose to consent to it without asking for details.  She could have asked for details and consented or rejected care based on those details.  She did not ask for details but agreed to the tests.   She consented.[/quote]
