The Practitioner has explained to me the diagnosis, the nature and purpose of the proposed treatment, the anticipated benefits, and the material risks, which may include but are not limited to infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to medication or anesthesia, failure to achieve desired result, and other risks specific to the proposed procedure. I understand that complications may require further treatment or hospitalization.

Anesthesia, Sedation and Blood Products
