Consent To Treat: Fill & Download for Free

Consent to treat at the hospital. If you are signing the consent to treat for a family member don’t. Not until you read it very carefully. There are (or at least there were when I worked in a hospital) two signatures required when you sign the consent to treatment. One is to actually consent for treatment of your loved one. The other one is the assumption of financial responsibility. Trust me they don’t make that especially clear when asking you to sign it. I should know. It was my job as the ER intake to have people sign them. We were told to say here is the consent for treatment and you need to sign it in two places. But that wasn’t true. One was for treatment and the other states that the person signing is responsible for any costs not covered by insurance.So only sign the statement giving permission for your loved one to receive treatment. Do not sign the other statement. If they tell you you have to make it clear that you are not financially responsible for the hospital bills of your loved one. The patient can sign it themselves once they are able.

Donald Trump can want whatever he wants, but when it comes to actual medical care, the decisions are made by medical professionals. They will assess his condition, determine the best course of treatment, and request his consent to provide it.A patient can request alternate treatment if they want, but it's down to the doctors to decide if they're willing to risk it, particularly bearing in mind that they are responsible for his treatment, so if something goes wrong, those same medical professionals will be facing malpractice suits and professional disciplinary hearings to determine why they took an inappropriate action not based on scientific evidence. Put bluntly: Hydroxychloroquine isn't an approved treatment for Covid-19, so using it would be considered treating the President of the United States with a drug not approved for use by the FDA for that particular condition.Personally, I think Trump needs to be on a steady IV of Hydroxychloroquine and Bleach, based on what he told people would be appropriate means for treating Covid. And he'd be dead inside a week.Luckily for him, he's being treated by professionals that know what they're doing. It's a real shame that they're treating a man who wants to take away that ability of some Americans to have access to that same level of care.

Q: Why are some atheists condescending toward those who believe in the Bible?A: Because some of those who believe in the Bible intrude.It is actually that simple: they push their religions on us, or make laws to push them onto us. They ring our doors at ungodly hours to sell their beliefs, which to us sounds as plausible as Santa. The arguments they use are not news. They are as old as the book, and we have heard them – and the “good news” – a gazillion times before.What’s worse, we’re called mentally ill, satanists, evil, immoral, that we should kill ourselves or be killed, and much more, and worse – often because we had the audacity to tell those intruders that we’re not interested and do not believe in gods.So yeah, we’re condescending at times. It happens when we are approached by bible thumpers and pamphlet pushers with the same old tired questions and accusations.There is a simple solution, though, and that is to treat one’s religion (or lack thereof) like sex: only do it with those who actually want to participate and consent to doing it. Otherwise, keep it to yourself, and out of public’s view.
