Discharge Against Medical Advice (AMA) — Patient Self-Discharge Form
Discharge Against Medical Advice (DAMA) is your right as a competent adult to leave hospital even if doctors recommend you stay. Hospitals will ask you to sign a release form acknowledging the risks. The form is hospital-specific but the legal principle is the same Australia-wide.
