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

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.
