Failure to Advise on Medical Risks

When a doctor advises a medical procedure, it is their job to inform you of all the risks and benefits involved.  In some cases the doctor should explain not only the risks of the proposed procedure but go on to tell you about other suitable operations or treatments and help you to decide which to choose. In general you have a right to be informed of the risks including what might only be a very small but recognised risk of serious injury, as well as the more frequent less serious possible complications.
