DH u want to be a surgeon right--------no wonder b is ur choice///////?///

when we consent we explain about the surgical procedure...u dont have to go into intricate details...but patient needs to know what u r going to do...its not enough to say we do an arthroscopy or ERPC on u.....we als explain risk and benifits.....
out of the above 3 we do all of them...I guess...A might be right for the fact that it says explain in DETAIL...anyway

hi what is the answer?
