Abstract

Background: It is customary to get hand written (or) printed consent prior to surgery, obtained from the patients and their close relatives. Since, single person signs the consent; the complications are narrated to only few persons. Adverse effects of the disease/ complications and surgery explained to only one person. When there is necessary to declare sad news, all the relatives of the patients gather together and that creates restlessness among the mob as well as to the hospital. Once, we start  video recording the consent and outcome of the surgery, to all the relatives, the attenders have psychological feeling that whatever told by the medical personal is documented and it is with the hospital, it creates fear to the attendees to indulge in unwanted activity. Since everybody has got a cell phone, that can be used to record the video consent .it is observed that the understanding and fear of the patients attenders that informed video consent available, make mob prevents abnormal behavior towards to medical people.

Keywords: Consent form; hand written consent form; cell phone video consent; surgery.
