In this case, as my personal opinion, we can see through two different perspective, in the
family position and as a doctor.
As the patient’s family perspective , they will do as they know, they will do what my cultural
or religion says, no matter what, because that was they will believe the most. And I assume,
the patient’s family in this case, have no medical background, if so, they will be hoping the
best from the medical team, they will have no clue at all, even after we approach them about
possibility organ donation.
Another question is, should the support be withdrawn? My answer is it was dependent, in this
case, I will try to approach the patient’s family again. I will tell what will be happen when we
continue the treatment without a clear certainty, I will ask them is this what the patient ask
for, remain supported “artificially” if the situation is hopeless, is there any benefit to the
patient of continuing a therapy that carries no advantage and maybe it will cause distress and
discomfort (e.g. suctioning ,etc.), and by continuing ineffective therapy, an ICU bed may be
blocked and not available for another patient who may be benefit from ICU care. If the
patient’s family say, they need time, a little longer to make decision making, I will gave
them, but not long. When they already have an answer to withdrawn the support, I will gladly
do it. At the end , the support will be withdrawn but with a two-way communication with me
as the doctor and the patient’s family.
