There is no guarantee that hydration therapy will temporarily or permanently cure or resolve your hangover, effects of altitude sickness, dehydration, or viral illness. Please drink alcohol in moderation. Heavy drinking after hydration therapy can lead to stomach irritation or other complications. Hydration therapy is not a cure for heavy drinking. Excessive drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning and other serious medical problems. Always drink alcohol in moderation.
I acknowledge that I have been given the opportunity to discuss the nature and purpose of the treatment and the risks, complications, and consequences associated with the procedures. I am aware that it is impossible to foresee or predict all possible risks, complications, and consequences, and I do not expect that the practitioner to anticipate or explain all associated risks. I waive any and all claims related to the services provided and agree to hold Doctor Wellness and Partners harmless regarding any complications or consequences I experience during or following the service.
This document is intended to serve as confirmation of informed consent for IV therapy as ordered by the practitioner. I have informed the practitioner of any known allergies to drugs or other substances, or of any past reactions to anaesthetics. I have informed the practitioner of all current medications and supplements.
I understand that I have the right to be informed of the procedure, any feasible alternative options, and the risks and benefits. Except in emergencies, procedures are not performed until I have had an opportunity to receive such information and to give my informed consent. I understand that:
1. The procedure involves inserting a needle into a vein and injecting the prescribed solution .
2. Alternatives to intravenous therapy are oral supplementation and / or dietary and lifestyle changes.
3. Risks of intravenous therapy include but not limited to:
A. Occasionally to commonly: Discomfort, bruising and pain at the site of injection.
B. Rarely: Inflammation of the vein used for injection, phlebitis, metabolic disturbances, and injury.
C. Extremely Rarely: Severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, infection, cardiac arrest and death.
4. Benefits of intravenous therapy include:
A. Injectables are delivered directly into the bloodstream, and therefore do not affect the stomach, or intestinal absorption.
B. Full dose is absorbed by infusion. Nutrients are absorbed into cells by means of a high concentration gradient. Although higher doses of nutrients have been given orally without intestinal irritation, absorption rate remains low and is limited by intestinal absorption.
I am aware that other unforeseeable complications could occur. I do not expect the practitioner to anticipate and/ or explain all risk and possible complications. I rely on the practitioner to exercise judgment during my procedure. I understand the risks and benefits of the procedure, and have had the opportunity to have all my questions answered. I understand that I have the right to consent or refuse any proposed treatment at any time prior to its performance.
