Also @Sly Saint Apologies - I'm not explaining this very well. Informed consent is an issue which is raised on a regular basis in the ME patient...
@Sly Saint See edits - have tried to clarify a bit. Thanks, @Sly Saint Informed consent [ETA: or lack of it] is one aspect of medical...
Our posts crossed, CRG. Apologies for that and thank you for your comments. At this stage, my proposal is an initial outline of what would become...
