Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Oui, would you speak about your experience with "informed consent" instrument(s) presented by health care providers of this treatment?

I'll have to read up about the term and definition ...

Informed consent for clinical treatment

I have not been limited in any way or confronted with the costs of this treatment. There hasn't been any delay from the moment an abnormality was found in a standard blood test. Within days I met the specialist oncology who initiated all necessary tests before a full diagnosis was determined and a choice of treatment was proposed.

I was offered the standard treatment for my case as the latest cancer research has found most effective. And I was offered an alternate route to participate in an experimental setting with another hospital. It took me no more than ten seconds to decline that offer.

Global Warming - distance between America and Europe is steadily increasing.

term and definition:  There are many. Nomenclature varies according to time, country, and convenience. Did you know that "brain-death" is a controversial term in the medical profession to signify "real" death. Why? Families of patients resist ideation of death's finality ... resistance hinders timely organ harvest.

Filed in "bio-ethics": informed consent. I have a few books in my stacks that are somewhat dated. I got them, while researching subject matter pertaining to so-called best practices in "knowledge management."

Thank you for responding.
