Finally, some respect for vets’ brains, not just their bodies. Consent isn’t a favor; it’s a right.

Informed consent is the handshake before the handshake deal—everyone wins when we get this right.

This sounds like common sense: veterans should be informed about what they’re signing up for, no exceptions.

Expanding consent is progress—because guessing games have no place in medicine, especially for our heroes.

More paperwork won’t heal a broken vet; trust doctors, not bureaucrats, to make calls on care.
