Edit: I did go to the hospital emergency room here in the US once and before ever talking to a doctor in a room, laying on a medical bed I was asked to sign forms by somebody whose whole job was to collect insurance info and make people sign waivers under duress.
I can’t imagine those waivers hold up in court so the entire goal of presenting them is probably to intimidate people
Thats just the US though.
