Abstract/OtherAbstract

BACKGROUND: Consenting for ablative surgery in our environment is very difficult. The fact that the concept of informed consent is based on patient's autonomy makes it even more frustrating in this environment. BODY: In this paper we have presented five patients in whom obtaining consent was particularly frustrating for us and have describe our experiences, the intrigues that went into it, the consequences of such delay especially in a country where the hospital's ethical committee or the law courts have not been known to override patients refusal to consent. CONCLUSION: Delay is giving this consent as usually very costly to both the patient and the medical facility. KEY WORDS: Ablative surgery; informed consent; ethical committee; law court. <I>Nigerian Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma</I> Vol.3(2) 2004: 207-214 |
