You still have rights even if you signed a consent form
A consent form does not give the health care provider a license to commit malpractice. While the execution of a typical consent form indicates acknowledgement of stated risks and complications associated with a given treatment or procedure, it does not relieve the health care provider from his or her duty of meeting the standard of care associated with such treatment or procedure.
Whenever you go to a New Hampshire medical professional for consultation
or treatment, it is expected that the doctor, nurse, or physician
will treat you with the top quality the medical profession demands.
Medical Malpractice is a doctor's failure to exercise the degree
of care and skill that a physician, surgeon, or any other medical
professional would use under routine circumstances.
