The Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest Report

 

 

Consent for the reoperation

Vinay Goyal was rescheduled for surgery on April 6, 1994. According to Sheena Goyal, the family did not feel that it had any options when consent was requested for this procedure. She testified, "We had no, nothing, anywhere else to turn to, nobody else to turn to. So we had no choice." (Evidence, page 978)
