Thank you very much!
I found the file.
Sorry I was nervous and my mind went blank, I forgot the command to find the
file. I didn't know in which computer the file was, and all the computers have
a lot of folders and files. I got luck in the first computer I tried.
That file is large, and explains with detail everything about the disease and
the procedure, and I didn't have the time to make a new informed consent.
Thank you very much for your help.
