You still have rights even if you signed a consent form
A consent form does not give the health care provider a license to commit malpractice.

Whenever you go to a Wyoming medical professional for consultation or treatment, it is expected that the doctor, nurse, or physician will treat you with the top quality the medical profession demands. Medical Malpractice is a doctor's failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician, surgeon, or any other medical professional would use under routine circumstances.
