Last amended: 1998Year: 1998Length: 109 wordsOfficial source
The fact that a doctor communicates the inherent and potential hazards of a proposed [procedure] [treatment] does not necessarily mean that those hazards, should they arise, are not the result of negligence in performing the proposed [procedure] [treatment]. The fact that a patient expressly or impliedly consents to a proposed [procedure] [treatment] does not mean that the patient consents to the negligent performance of that [procedure] [treatment] and therefore does not prevent you from considering whether the [procedure] [treatment] was negligently performed. The fact that a patient consents to an adequately performed [procedure] [treatment] does not excuse the doctor from negligence in choosing an unnecessary or contraindicated [procedure] [treatment].
