⚕️ Medico-Legal Lesson #1: A signed #consent form does not protect a doctor from negligent care. Consent is not a legal shield. It confirms that a patient understood the nature of a procedure, its risks, benefits, and alternatives before agreeing to it.

Good documentation, effective communication, and adherence to accepted standards of care remain your strongest safeguards. Protect your practice. Know the law before the law knows you.
