4114 REVIEW DENIED In the face of evidence that plaintiff could not read Spanish, the fact that she signed forms printed in Spanish consenting to surgical procedures the risks of which were described in the forms did not result in a conclusive presumption of informed consent, but raised a question of fact about whether she received sufficient information; the physician referring the patient to a surgeon for a particular kind of surgery and the surgeon each owed the patient a duty to provide information and obtain informed consent.CitationQUINTANILLA v DUNKELMAN (Uninformed Consent) 133 CA4 95 [See: Cobbs v Grant 8 C3 229; Arato v Avedon 5 C4 1172, T/AT 11/93]
