Dear PAO,
I used to spend most of my weekends motocrossing or dirt biking. Unfortunately, in one of our trainings, I committed a critical mistake which fractured my jaw. The surgeon suggested using a metal plate to be fastened to my jaw in order to immobilize my mandible. I agreed. However, since the operation required smaller screws, the surgeon cut the larger screws by hand to make them smaller. He did not inform me of this fact, supposing that I could not afford to buy more expensive, smaller screws after sensing that I was already struggling with my down payment. As a result, I experienced excruciating pain after the operation, which required another corrective surgery. Was my right to informed consent violated?
