Prior to my time on Active Duty Army and during it I dealt with two situations in which I had to either agree or disagree to do an informed consent. For both cases both dealt with the same internal issue, however, one dealt with my relationship with others and then myself. Even when I got diagnosed with a Central Auditory Processing Disorder there I had the ability to limit what I wanted my Educational Psychologist to disclose with my parents when they came for an update visit on my progress.

Even with a paper entailing the do and don’ts there always going to be someone who tries to sue because things didn’t work out. If they only decided to listen to what the doctor/shrink has to say who has years of experiences, then things may have ended
