What four abilities must a patient show to be able to have capacity to give or refuse consent?

Who knew stating patients deserve respect would get so much push back? Holy cow. Consent should matter more than it typically does. Continue to do forced procedures. I have not stated they should stop. I have stated the value the profession as a culture places on consent and the weight given...

What if first responders were required to increase training in how to descalate problems and communicate with those with disabilities and addictions better? 75 percent of forced procedures that were done could have been less traumatic (and still forced on the patient) with better communication...

Yeah. That’s what they say when they force a procedure on someone with a disability because why are too tired to wait for a sign interpreter or take the time to communicate. I will repay my position slowly for you. I never stated forced catherizations should end. I believe consent should...

Read it again slowly what I posted. Slowly. Because telling you to read slowly is clearly a sign of respectful dialogue?! Geez. Here’s a mirror.

Healthcare providers need to value consent more. As a profession, as a field, there is a huge need for greater respect for consent. That’s not an attack on you. It’s interesting that you take it as an attack. So be it. I don’t control how you take it.

I do have an agenda. To make it clear: consent needs to matter more than it typically does. My agenda doesn’t make my position invalid.

Google. You can find many cases in many states where courts have rules that forced catherization of drunk patients is a violation of patient rights. There are hundreds and of cases like this all over the country. Nah, it doesn’t work to try to wash away the harm that savior complexes do by...

I know this is an old thread but I found it pretty interesting. I was a pre med student who became an EMT briefly and decided to become a trauma therapist instead. My question: Why are patients allowed to have DNRs and able to refuse life saving care in some circumstances, but not forced...
