- Abstract
Communicating risks of obesity before anaesthesia from the patient's perspective: informed consent or fat-shaming? We read with interest the recent editorial by Selak and Selak [1], looking at informed consent for patients with a high BMI, and the risk of this being perceived as "fat shaming". This will include both SOBA members and other anaesthetists who do not do have a subspecialist obesity interest or perform specific weight loss surgery lists yet encounter patients with a high BMI in their practice, in order to benchmark UK practice.
