Legal subjectivity:
The person signing the surgery does not have to be an immediate relative. The surgical consent form, anesthesia consent form and power of attorney form only need to be signed by the patient himself. However, in order to avoid risks caused by surgery, the hospital will require the patient and his close relatives to sign the surgery consent form and anesthesia consent form. The main reason why the hospital does this is to avoid the risks that may be caused by the operation and to prevent the trouble and disputes that unpredictable risks during the operation may bring to the hospital and medical staff.
