Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 35.070
Treatment Without Consent
A doctor has a duty to obtain the consent of a patient before treating him. If a doctor treats
without first obtaining his patient’s consent, then he is liable for any injury to the patient which
proximately results from the treatment, even though he exercised reasonable skill and diligence in
providing the treatment.
