Summary
In this blog in the BMJ, Andrés J Lessing considers how consent forms and conversations about care and treatment often do not account for the possibility of incidental findings. The author suggests that incidental findings can be very stressful for patients and that as part of the pre-treatment consent process healthcare professionals could provide a reminder about the likelihood of incidental findings and what might be done to address them.
