UJI 13-1109A. Failure to obtain consent.
Every adult of sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with their own
body. A doctor who [performs an operation upon] [medically treats] [examines or
touches] a patient without the patient’s prior consent commits a legal wrong for which
the doctor is liable in damages. [It is also legally wrong to [perform an operation upon]
[medically treat] [examine or touch] one part of the body when the patient’s consent was
limited to another part of the body.]
