The undersigned consents to endocrine evaluation and treatment as may be recommended by the treating clinician. This may include clinical assessment, laboratory testing (blood, urine), imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI with or without contrast), fine-needle aspiration of thyroid or other accessible lesions, administration of medications including hormone replacement or suppression therapy, therapeutic injections, radioactive iodine therapy when indicated, and diabetes management including insulin or other agents. The anticipated procedures and goals are described below.

Risks, Benefits, and Alternatives

I understand that the intended benefits of the proposed care include diagnosis, reduction of symptoms, prevention of complications, and improved metabolic control. I understand there are risks associated with tests and treatments. Potential risks include, but are not limited to: allergic reaction to medications or contrast agents; infection, bleeding, or scarring at puncture or biopsy sites; inadequate therapeutic effect; hormonal imbalance; changes in weight, mood, bone density, or fertility; transient or persistent hypo- or hyperglycemia; radiation exposure where applicable; and unanticipated adverse events. Complications specific to fine-needle aspiration may include bleeding, infection, or need for additional procedures.

I acknowledge that no guarantees have been made to me regarding the results of the proposed evaluation or treatment. Reasonable alternatives to the proposed care may include observation, alternative medical therapies, referrals to other specialists, or no treatment. I have had the opportunity to discuss alternatives and to ask questions.
