Shalma Hughes paused and took the clipboard. She briefly scanned the contents before speaking coldly. "What is this for? Do I need to sign it?"
The doctor nodded and said, "If the family doesn't sign, it will be very difficult for us to proceed with the surgery. Although the stab wound didn't hit any vital organs, the patient's current condition is not optimistic. He has lost too much blood. Please sign quickly so we can arrange the surgery..."
For some reason, even though Shalma Hughes had taken the pen from the doctor, the tip of it seemed unable to touch the consent form.
What consent form? It was fundamentally an unequal treaty. If the patient lived, the credit went to the hospital. If the patient died, the family had to bear everything. This was too difficult to sign, the weight of it far too heavy!
