The principle of informed consent is generally applicable in the medical field, which strengthens the right of patients to self-determination by informing patients about their risks. Medical treatment as a high-risk activity, the source of its risk mainly includes the inherent risk of medical treatment and the fault of the medical side. The inherent risk is usually subject to the objective level of development of medical technology, and the coefficient of negligence risk of the medical side refers to the risk that may be caused by one party's subjective fault. Of course, this risk does not rule out the possibility that it may be subject to the actual development of the corresponding medical science and technology. Doctors inform patients of the corresponding risks
as to ensure the transparency and objectivity of medical risks to a certain extent. In essence, it is a kind of risk-taking.
