Things are different in the desert. <strong>The</strong> sky is bigger. <strong>The</strong> stars are brighter. <strong>The</strong> sunsets stop you in your<br />
tracks. Phoenix is the gateway to the Grand Canyon, and its history is a testament to the spirit of puebloans,<br />
ranchers, miners and visionaries. Projected against this rich backdrop is a panorama of urban sophistication<br />
— Arizona’s urban heart and America’s sunniest metropolis.<br />

Risk Issues Related to Patient Selection and Informed Consent<br />

these individuals that will lead to mutually successful outcomes for the<br />
patient and surgeon alike. Management of the history and informed<br />
consent process as well as a discussion of “red flag” warning signs that<br />
may be indicators of future problems to come will be reviewed.<br />
