When patients are treated in the hospital, there are some cases that cannot be solved by taking medicine and injections. At this time, surgical treatment is required. Before surgical treatment, the doctor will take out a surgical consent form and ask for signature. So, is it necessary to sign the consent form for surgery? Some people want to know whether it is OK not to sign the consent form for surgery. Is it necessary to sign the surgical consent form? You must sign it. If you don’t sign, the doctor will not perform the surgical treatment. Doctors have no power over the patient's body. Therefore, someone must authorize you to start treatment, whether the outcome of the treatment is to save someone or kill someone. Who should sign the surgical consent form? 1. The surgical consent form must be signed by the patient himself. If I am unable to sign or am not suitable to sign, the patient's close relatives must sign and agree (such as spouse, parents, children, etc.). 2. If the consequences of surgery and related measures are not notified to the patient or his close relatives through the above channels, the hospital shall be liable for compensation for non-medically necessary damage caused by the surgery.
