Last July, I wrote about how some range of the high (90%+) consensual resolution rate of end-of-life conflicts is illusory because the surrogates may consent based on incomplete information and understanding.
A new study by David Brush and colleagues in Critical Care Medicine lends support to concern that some physicians deliberately misrepresent information in order to obtain surrogate consent to their proposed treatment plan. This seems like a serious informed consent violation, especially in Wisconsin where physicians must often disclose options even if they think they are inappropriate.
