What is the burden of informed consent placed on the patient when advised to undergo the first angiogram?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ciarlariello Estate v. Schacter, 1991 CanLII 8354 (ON CA):
Without attempting to revisit Reibl v. Hughes, it appears to me on the facts of this case that it is impractical to deal with the issue of informed consent in isolation from the exercise of medical judgment. The burden of decision was properly placed on the patient when the advice was given to undergo the first angiogram.
