Excellent piece, Dr Gonnering! Sadly, medicine has been corrupted, with too many physicians more focused on protocol and ideology than actual care of patients. When I was a practicing NP, informed consent was always at the forefront when discussing medications, biologics, procedures, or research with patients. That requirement seems to have disappeared, and I find that equally disturbing and sad. Thank you for addressing this.
