I really didn't like that doctor who kept trying to convince family to call it quits.
I'm a doctor as well and I think one of the biggest aspects to patient recovery is hope and this doctor is a disgrace to me.
If a family member chooses to give up, that's on them. As a doctor, your place is not to nudge family decisions one way or another. It is also irresponsible to inflate the bad while downplaying the possibilities. Your job is to deliver the facts, let the newly informed family decide what they want to do, and then execute an action plan based on the family's decisions.
If I had a chair on the boards, I'd pull her license. What a disgrace.
I gave a lower star amount because of the "euthanasia" propaganda but I like how insightful the show is in depicting what patients and their families must face.
