I know surgeons and audis always ask if one has any questions, but any times, patients don't know what to ask! this form would be an excellent starting point from which to think of more questions at least in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this Lee. Welcome! I found it by accident as I was " rounding up citations " for my psychology paper. I noticed the language is simplified English, something that many deaf can easily understand, especially the pre-ling. You are right, if it something they can understand, they are more likely to ask questions. Now for my papers,,,,,,, it " coming along " ....... slowwlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, but getting there. I will share once I have complete it. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 That's excellent Lee, Maybe something we could copy and take to our audi or surgerons and put it to them as a suggestion as to how they can help explain the process better to patients. If they don't use it for an actual consent form, the risks could at least be copied and handed out with patient packets.
