The 25 Commonalities - Commonality #4: Denial of Consent

Over recent years, countless individuals and families have suffered under hospital protocols that stripped patients of their most basic rights, including the right to informed consent. The stories shared with CHBMP reveal a troubling pattern of coercion, neglect, and ethical violations in medical care. Across the nation, patients were denied the ability to make decisions about their own treatment, restrained, silenced, and forced into "emergency use" or experimental hospital protocols they neither agreed to nor understood.

This compilation of firsthand accounts sheds light on the devastating impact of denying patients their right to informed consent. These are the voices of those who were powerless, the stories of families left in despair, and the cries for justice from those who were failed by the very systems meant to protect them. Through these testimonials, we seek to honor their bravery, expose these injustices, and demand accountability.

Let these stories inspire action to protect patient autonomy and restore integrity to medical care.
