Hi Phillipa~
There are different names for these things,
but consent to treat is one of them. I
think it depends on the particular state
you're resident of. You'll usually find
either fine print or some other wording
that releases the doctor or clinic from
liability to a certain extent; not totally
obviously as in the case of deliberate
malpractice or negligent malpractice.When you're dealing with psychiatric
drugs, the effects and side-effects
cannot be predicted in advance[unless
we've had them before lol]. If someone
was actually showing tardive dyskinesia
and the doc didn't remove the drug
immediately, that seems not too
intelligent.
