What a medical disclaimer is for

A disclaimer is not a smaller form of consent. Consent to an operation is a conversation about that person’s risks. The disclaimer on this site only says what a public page cannot do: it cannot examine, it cannot stage a cancer, and it cannot promise a scar or a survival.

Oncora Health keeps the disclaimer next to every procedure because the catalogue runs from oncologic surgery to aesthetic surgery. The same sentence structure protects both fields from being read as a menu with outcomes attached.

If a page and a clinician disagree, the clinician who has read the records is the one to follow. The page is the general text. It is updated from the administration when the wording should change. It is not updated to match a campaign.
