Betz patients, how did you sign on paperwork written in German?
« on: April 16, 2022, 07:44:20 PM »
If you don't know any German how did you sign the surgery consent form and other privacy related consent forms? Did they arrange for a translation and give you time to read through it? I am talking about a) privacy related consent forms during consultation b) surgery consent forms before surgery

thanks!

By German law all contracts must be in German only. So you cannot sign on a translated document. I think it would be the patient's responsibility to translate it and then sign on it. So what do international Betz patients do? Bring the documents to the hotel, google translate it and then understand it? Serious question. Serious question..
