Disclaimers are not necessarily worth the paper they are written on and the mothers can still sue the OB for assault, which is very different to negligence (he did the epis in complete disregard of an express wish) however he would probably try to support himself arguing doctrine of necessity (life threatening emergency). It is always the mentally competent patient's right to refuse even where others think the refusal is irrational. Kate
