What is the name of your state? NY
During any medical treatment at er or surgical procedure, patients are asked to sign a consent, that basically says that you accept the risks involved, and will not hold them liable even in the event of death.
Without signing this, will you get treatment?
If a patient refuses to sign, let's say in the er, can the hospital refuse treatment?
Are medical professionals really not held liable if you sign the consent?
