ABSTRACT
In recent decades, the clinical procedures surrounding informed consent in healthcare settings have experienced a revolution for the better. However, the method by which doctors get informed consent is still challenging. The causes of this ambiguity are numerous. Part of the doubt stems from the intellectual dullness of key foundational notions. The complexities of therapeutic communication, the importance of autonomy, and the changing nature of the doctor-patient relationship have all contributed to the ongoing uncertainty in many clinical settings. Many patients who face medical dilemmas are unsure of which therapy options to take. The informed consent helps in minimizing uncertainty and empowering patients’ in choosing clinical decisions.
