North Shore Surgi-Center is more interested in protecting itself and making money. The consent form that they make you sign; completely does away with the Patient Bill of Rights and voids any health care proxy that the patient had filled out. Recently my wife had bunion surgery . The consent form allows for any person not involved in your operation ; to observe all facets of the operation. It even allows for the taking of videos and photographs for educational purposes. Well after the fact, I conatcted the NYS Health Dept and they had stated that my wife could cross out any items on the consent form that she did not agree with.
Cons: Not interested in Patient Rights
