How do you feel about 'assumed consent'?

[nothing2lose]

I get that. I am reading the "you" and "we" as hypothetical, but I still don't see which hypothetical "you" is against change in the way HCP's presume consent?

Part of the issue is that the OP asked how we felt about consent, and some of us has responded with how we feel personally, and others have responded with a commentary on the current situation. I get the feeling some have mistaken the former for the latter.

Yes, that. Reading back it seems no one is against informed consent as a concept but that some of us would not necessarily be angry or violated should we have an episiotomy without explicit consent.

I think you've summed it up very well

Oh I totally get that too. And I don't thing that anyone SHOULD be, but I do think that those are should be heard.
