Abstract
In the context of symptomatic chronic cholelithiasis, pathways to consent for operative treatment originated at diverse, culturally determined starting points. Patients work their way through the decision process along many paths. Some rely on gathering information, but eventually all set aside unresolved residual doubts and fears, enabling a leap to trust and a decision to act.
