The informed consent for surgery concerns me. I think most veterinarians try to inform clients as well as possible to the risks and alternatives to surgery. I think adding this legal requirement will result in an undue burden on veterinarians, as it is impossible to foresee all possible complications from surgery and this will likely be used in lawsuits by clients.
