When visiting a clinic for a cosmetic or any other procedure, keep the admission slip and the proof of payment so you can prove the harm and claim against those responsible if something goes wrong.
When you visit a clinic for a cosmetic operation or any other medical procedure, keep the admission slip and the proof of payment. They are what let you prove harm caused by a medical error and pursue those responsible in court.
Why these two documents
The admission slip proves the relationship between you and the clinic and the date of the procedure. The receipt proves what you paid. Without them it is hard to show that the procedure happened at that place on that date.
What to do
- Ask for a copy of the informed-consent form and the medical report before and after the procedure.
- Photograph the papers and keep them somewhere safe.
- If you suspect an error, see another doctor and obtain a written report before taking any legal step.
