Hysterectomy and oophorectomy informed consent.

Summary

The bill would make doctors provide patients with detailed educational materials and obtain both oral and written consent at least two weeks before a hysterectomy or oophorectomy. Patients could also add specific instructions to stop surgery and have wounds sutured, and any changes must be signed by both patient and surgeon. An emergency exception would waive the consent requirement, and violations could lead to disciplinary action.
