Did I get on my soapbox a little bit for this episode? Maybe?  But then is that also what it always feel like when I do solo episodes? Yes. Informed consent is SO important (and our legal right as patients!) yet not always given. I love seeing the narrative around this start to shift and I think it is important to keep talking about it. We often have to be our own advocates and advocates for our children so this episode is dedicated to understanding what informed consent is and isn&apos;t. Thanks for tuning in! If you have 10 seconds to spare please drop 5 stars in Apple Podcasts and give a review-- it really helps me out!
