I've been looking over the latest regulations on patient consent for high-risk procedures—what's your take on how those changes might affect your workflow?

Those changes will mean a bit more time at the beginning of each case, but once you build a clear script and checklist, it actually streamlines the process. It forces us to confirm understanding every step of the way, so I end up spending less time chasing up questions later and more time focusing on the surgery itself. It’s a small extra effort that ultimately protects both the patient and the practice.

Sounds efficient in theory, but remember that any added step can be a point of friction—patients can still feel rushed or skeptical. Keep the script concise, maybe have a quick pre‑op briefing that you repeat verbatim, so the patient feels guided, not lectured. That way you safeguard both the patient’s understanding and your own workflow.
