Why would a patient agree?
They are counting on people to *not* read before signing and for it to be another page in the “routine” paperwork and waiver forms people expect to sign.
Yup. Glad I read all paperwork from one prospective doctor. About 2/3 through the forms was a privacy waiver, that allowed doctor to to report any “dangerous” tendencies to proper authorities. Examples were usage of alcohol, overuse of pain pills, gun ownership, and others.
I tore up the paperwork and walked out.
