Oh. My. God.
What do you do when your husband comes home without a penis? Above what do you do when you find out it was a mistake?
How can you just diagnose someone with cancer without EXTENSIVE testing? That is CRAZY!!
They say that patients should read the consent forms thoroughly, but they are very vague, to say the least. I read those forms thoroughly and they only say something along the lines of "You give consent to the hospital to perform any service that may be deemed necessary for your diagnosis."
If, at the time, they deem a service necessary, then what? You just find out about it in the end. They need to lay out SPECIFIC steps that will be taken during surgery. If they find something else that isn't life-threatening, then they should wait and allow that patient to decide if they want to have another procedure.
