Dr. Ha Pinto discusses the concept of consent in the context of medical ethics, defining it as permission or agreement for a treatment or investigation. Consent is an ethical and legal duty of the doctor. It can be categorized into three types: written consent (e.g., consent forms for surgery), oral consent (e.g., asking for permission to examine a patient), and implied consent (e.g., a patient extending their arm for a blood draw). Dr. Pinto emphasizes the importance of clearly documenting consent in patient notes and advises caution with implied consent, as it may lead to misinterpretation by the doctor.
