No, patients and their families have the right to know and choose a more suitable plan.
The doctor explained all the suggested schemes and their advantages and disadvantages to you. Sometimes he will advise you which is better, but this is not the incentive. Although sometimes you sound like the doctor is scaring you, it's really not a threat, because there are too many uncontrollable things in clinic. It is not uncommon to break the operating table during appendicitis surgery.
Minor surgery, usually healthy patients, preoperative risk responsibility notification, all browsed, said and signed.
Poor health, a small operation will consider a lot, and there are many basic diseases, which need the cooperation of many departments.
For major surgery, we are usually the director to inform all immediate family members, and specially choose an afternoon to talk about all the risks carefully in the teaching room or conference room. Finally, all the family members decided to agree and sign.
If you trust this doctor, you can ask him to help you choose the best plan for you, although you don't have to mention it, most doctors will do so.
If you are not satisfied with the plan, or don't trust the level of this doctor, you can change to a doctor you trust before making a decision.
It is the doctor's responsibility to inform the risk plan, and it is your right to decide whether to implement it or not. Doctors do not make decisions for patients and their families except in some special circumstances.
