It is defined as a process in which the medical professional provides appropriate and accurate information to the patient, enabling him to ask any relevant questions and come to a rationalized and deliberate decision. Crucial factors for obtaining valid consent are that the patient is considered competent with the ability to understand and retain information before communicating his or her decision21. Consent to undergo or refuse treatment in most cases should be given only to the patient without coercion from family, friends or assistants21. The patient should be fully informed with accurate and concise information, including appropriate alternatives and the consequences of refusing treatment, and should be given adequate time to reflect on this and ask relevant questions or request further information21. If after everything has been thoroughly addressed in the protocol and the competent patient were to refuse the treatment, it is important as a healthcare professional to respect his decision even if he does not agree with your personal one
