Informed consent: information about the physician.
Does the doctrine of 'informed consent' require disclosure about the physician? Recent developments indicate that the doctrine requires information not only about the treatment but also about the physician. There is also modification in the requirement of proof of a causal nexus between the lack of informed consent and injury.
