  • Title: Consent to treatment: loophole in the Ontario Mental Health Act.
    Author: Jaychuk G, Manchanda R, Galbraith DA.
    Journal: Can J Psychiatry; 1991 Oct; 36(8):594-6. PubMed ID: 1742714.
    Abstract:
    The issue of using substitute consent to obtain treatment for patients who are not competent to consent to treatment is complex. The authors present a case which illustrates that patients may delay treatment for extended periods of time by repeatedly challenging their incompetency status. The authors present proposals to change the present system.
