Inspired by Margaret Edson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Wit, this fictionalized script juxtaposes the “checklist” requirements for obtaining surgical consent (on the left) and the hidden concerns of an individual anticipating surgery (on the right). From the conversations we have been privy to throughout our rotation, we were compelled to imagine and compare what healthcare providers might explain (re: the procedure, its outcomes, risks, alternatives) versus what patients might wonder (re: its impact on their day-to-day).
