Dr. Burt's Love Surgery

Dr. Burt admitted to performing reconstructive surgery on many hundreds of women without their consent, usually after the birth of a child. The existence of informed consent as a legal term and a required precursor for receiving a medical procedure only dates back to 1971. In the early days of informed consent is a legal requirement, doctors would often just hand waivers to patients and brushly tell them you need to sign this before I can give you the treatment that you need.
