Question:
Is it ILLEGAL in mississippi to cut or burn(CAUTERIZE) a woman's tubes without her asking for it?
I wanna know if theres anyone out there that can help me with some information, I wanna know how can the doctor burn (cauterize) your tubes without you knowing? Shouldnt that be illegal/ I wanted mine tied, but not clipped and burnt!!! I never asked for that to be done, But i spoke to a nurse at the hospital and she told me that that is the only way they do it.. She said they do everyone that way. I don't think that is right, If you asked for your tubes to be tied, then they should only tie them, not cut and burn them!!! I live in mississippi and i wanna know is that legal??? CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE??

AngieC is the only person who answered this correctly. You gave what's called INFORMED CONSENT. Now let me ask you something: Why in the world would any woman electively undergo a procedure that permanently alters your reproductive organs without researching it first (or ANY surgery for that matter!)? Secondly, if you had even the tiniest inclination to want another pregnancy in the future, why not take another form of birth control?
There isn't a court in the world who would award you a settlement for being stupid. Sorry.
