Ragen -

talk about things that NEEDED to be said! The "noncompliant" label has been stuck on far too

many of us to ignore, and this really makes me feel that I've been handed a real opposition to it,

something that's reasoned & carefully researched & thought out (unlike the people who WRITE

the "noncompliant" bull in patients' records). Jen is right: we ALL need to print this material out,

along with the HAES info, to take along to appointments with new medical people. It's self-

defense, so thanks, Ragen for arming us with REAL facts!

I LOVE this framework! I never thought of informed consent in this context, but it's obviously so important.

This was a hard and important read. Thank you! I think I may print this one out to bring to appointments in case it comes up. Maybe doctors need a reminder about what informed consent actually is, because I can't even remember how many times I've had "noncompliant" written in my chart. Thank you, thank you!
