Consent by a diabetic patient who appears incompetent




A 55-year old woman with diabetes is diagnosed to have gangrene on both feet. She was brought to the hospital. She told the doctor the she is feeling fine and she has no medical problems. Can she give consent for the amputation of both legs?











Comments

















Anam Najam no

Hajira Mehboob No she needs psychological treatment...















Valeed Ahmed The patient appears incompetent as she says she is fine and there is nothing wrong with her, so her consent is not acceptable
