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.

I'm a neurosurgeon, this is a difficult case, and I need that file, and I don't have all day to search, I'm a little nervous and I JUST FORGOT HOW TO SEARCH THIS FILE IN COMMAND LINE. (This patient has zooed all his previous doctors, so I need this file).
