Moreover, even those departments that are involved in informed consent are unclear about how to use it on the bed. Many clinicians question the need for it in the therapeutic setting. They also question their
underlying assumptions that "the most competent patients are ready, willing and able to" participate in medical decision making, "which advocates for informed consent requirement." 2 Therefore, regardless of lawyers and bioethicists position as the right to informed consent can not be questioned, it is still not only convinced, but more critically, unengaged the clinics. Moreover, a large number of clinics demonstrate the idea of informed consent as a myth.3 Informed Consent and the doctor-patient Doctors' skepticism informed consent is disturbing given that informed consent is the most pervasive and far-reaching problem in medical ethics during the past three decades.

Informed consent also provides power to the patients to implement its decisions, a power or right to refuse medical treatment.

Advocates of "autonomy based medical ethics" speaks a general reorganization of the model of communication between patients and doctors. Some ethicists argue that a "compelling and clinically effective tools to respect and strengthen patient autonomy" is not available.
