Dr. Doubletalk: Video 3 in Our Demand to Understand Campaign

The last time you were in the hospital, did you quickly and nervously sign everything you were handed? Did you really understand that consent form, or the information on your medications, or your liability waiver, or any of the dozens of forms you have to sign when you’re hospitalized?

If so, our third video, Dr. Doubletalk, should sound familiar. Blah, Blah, Blah, sign here. Don’t be bullied or scared by the hospital or by the authority of the doctor. You are in charge of your own medical interventions.

Remember: it’s your life and you DO have a right to Demand to Understand.
