"... informed consent is overrated. It’s main purpose is to cover the doctors ass because ... a person without medical education CANNOT be really informed. Even a minor dentist like me needs to lie every once and a while to give the best treatment to the patient. Example: I am making a large bridge that includes both vital and non vital teeth. While vital teeth do not need to always be devitilised before we take the impression, I generally advise people in two different maners for them: if they can afford it I suggest to keep the teeth alive because even if there is a risk for them to become inflamed it is a minor risk and live teeth are better crown bearers. However if the patient is cheap and poor at the same time I tell them we HAVE to devitalize. Why? because devitalisation produces smaller risks in the long run and if a person payed a couple of thousand bucks he does not have for a bridge he cannot afford to have it drilled destroyed and replaced a couple of years ago only because we chose the “by the book” path. We measure the risks and than give our advice so that we can sway the patinet in a certain direction: and while most patients are not idiots you would be surprised how many are smart mouths just because there is the web. So we lie; twist; squirm; do the wrong thing for the right reasons"

мне еще дико понравился эфвемизм "devitalize". он не врет для того чтобы заставить пациента согласиться УБИТЬ здоровый зуб, нет, они этот зуб просто... девитализируют. зайчики, блять.

heresy, i'm not paranoid
