Informed Consent Unpacked: Navigating Patient Communication in Wellness Practices

In this important episode, Anna and Kendall discuss the critical topic of informed consent in wellness practices, sparked by Anna's recent hospital experience with her son's appendectomy. The conversation reveals significant gaps in how alternative healthcare providers approach patient communication compared to traditional medical settings.

Anna reflects on her hospital experience: "It didn't feel threatening. I didn't feel afraid. I felt safe and I felt seen. And I think that those are huge takeaways." This contrasts sharply with the challenges she's faced implementing informed consent in her acupuncture clinic.

The hosts discuss the resistance many practitioners have to providing detailed informed consent, with Anna noting that "they were terrified that the patients would get up and walk out of the treatment room the minute that they said that there might be a side effect of needling or cupping or gua sha."

Kendall emphasizes the importance of proper training and systems: "We do have to audit charts... we can put these protocols in place, but the reality is that it's not universal across the board."

This episode provides valuable insights for wellness practice owners looking to implement proper informed consent protocols, emphasizing that transparency builds rather than diminishes trust with patients.
