Jewel, again all of this is done to protect the medical professional against the patient, not the other way around. It is to the medical professional's advantage to institute such signoffs, and most of my acquaintance have done so. As for the patients who are retarded or of limited intellect, if it can be shown that they are incapable of comprehension, anything they sign would be invalid. In extreme cases, a court-appointed guardian would be assigned. - Holly
