Evaluating informed consent obtained by surgical residents.

Not the result I was expecting when I looked up this study.

"Ninety-nine per cent of patients reported that the resident adequately described the procedure and nine per cent had additional questions for the attending physician. Major surgery-specific complications were discussed with 89 per cent of patients. Benefits of the procedure were discussed with 96 per cent and alternatives with 85 per cent of patients. Residents received an overall grade of excellent (74% of patients), good (25%), or fair (1%)."
