No physicians explicitly stated that they discussed conflicts of interest, evidence for the chosen device, queried patients about concerns or expectations, or confirmed patient understanding. Several participants said that they provided patients with a rationale for choosing a particular device, and discussed the risks and benefits associated with that choice as part of the informed consent process. I give them a three-page handout that talks in generic terms about the indications, the complications, the success rate, the failure rate, the recovery period. I also say it to them verbally. I tell them that if they have questions let me know. (03OTL)You need to talk to the patient about what the device is supposed to do, how it is going to be implanted, what risks are there, what potential benefits are there, and all these are outlined in the informed consent as well as verbal discussion.
