Day 2: Case Panel Discussion on Ethical Dilemmas in Palliative Care
-
Case 1: “The Runaway Bride”
Dilemma:
In the event of the legal decision maker leaving/abandoning an unconscious patient and decisions need to be made for this patient’s care, who do we ask?
-
Case 2: “To Do or Not To Do”
Dilemma:
* Will you follow the patient’s verbal desire that she doesn’t want to be dependent in a Mechanical Ventilator
-
Case 3: “Voiceless”
Dilemma:
* How should we treat the principle of autonomy when the patient is a minor?
-
Case 4: “The Prodigal Father”
Dilemma
In this case of difficulty in establishing identity and relationships between patients and relatives, who do we call on for decisions on advance care directives?
