Questão jurídica principal
Whether the surgeon could rely on hypothetical consent despite lack of informed consent
Decisão extraída
Yes. The physician proved that, if properly informed, the patient would have accepted both interventions.
Fundamentação extraída
For both procedures, the risks were not so grave as to require an information level that would preclude hypothetical consent; the court assessed the concrete situation of this patient and found no personal motives showing she would have refused.
