Only 26.4% of consent forms in one study documented the required elements.
A signature isn't enough. #InformedConsent claims turn on disclosure, & states split ~50/50 on the standard.
An established process could be meeting the wrong standard.👇

The Informed Patient
A good doctor welcomes your questions. If yours doesn't, that's information too.
Take full control of your health journey. Remember, your voice truly matters in every medical decision you make.

Joining a research study is always your choice, and it stays your choice the whole way through. Participant protections are built in and overseen by independent ethics boards (IRBs). Knowing your rights is the first step.
Too many physicians think #InformedConsent is handled with a simple signature when it's anything but that simple.
When patients don’t fully understand risks or alternatives, that gap becomes a liability issue fast.
What separates 'routine' from 'defensible'?
Sometimes, consensus is dangerous. Seeking it is hard for large groups. What's important is the journey towards consensus, not the destination.

Heroin cough syrup, OxyContin, Vioxx: medicine has big reversals in its history. The useful lesson isn’t 'trust nothing.' It’s: confidence should match evidence and absolute benefit matters. sixstonejars.co/medical-reve...
