Medical Ethics
These cases all present ethical issues during life that impacted the death. Explore issues such as: “Whose responsibility is it to care for the patient when the patient does not want care?” Or, alternatively, “What is the provider’s role when feeling pressured (either internally or externally) to provide a specific treatment?” And so on.
Tip: Start with the History. Find guiding questions after each history.
