informed consent

what is the key to true and valid consent
patient comprehension
what can a patient sue for if they did not consent to a procedure that had been done to them?
battery (unconsented touching)
can patients file lawsuit even if a nonconsented procedure helped them?
yes because it was still technically battery (unconsented touching)
what does consent mean to a provider?
concerns the healthcare providers right to treat a given individual, not the manner in which the treatment was delivered - so you can get sued even if you are giving competent care (if there was no consent)
