Heart insufficiency was enough to put her into deep sopor and compromise her consciousness and judgement. I'd say it was expected after having half her heart muscle dead by an infarction. Otherwise, it's pretty obvious the patient has the final call. It just wasn't the case this time.

I'm a general practicioner working in a small countryside hospital in southern Chile. I'm too young to be a specialist yet, I'm only 26 and have been practicing for a year and a half, maybe a little more. I just happen to like the ER so I tend to pull some extra shifts out of my colleagues. There are 4 of us here and we pull 24-hour long shifts, sometimes up to 3-4 times a week, and the rest of the days we just do clinic duty. I'd also like to thank you all for your kind words and 'get well' wishes. My throat is still fucked up but I'm confident that with the speech ban imposed on me by my ORL, it'll get better soon :D... I just have to endure the wishes to cast some sick SC2 games I've seen these days :C | ||

Thanks for Sharing. Also you wouldn't mind me asking what doctors usually think about Male Nurses. All I've heard about is horror stories and alot of discrimination. PM me if you'd like.  | ||

very soon... They gave him a lot of painkillers, morphium etc and as i visited him for the last time he was lying in his bed. I cried badly and he had tears in his eyes so I think he still recognized and it was a dignified dead beside his family | ||

 Partly because my mom and I almost died from a car accident. Accepting death is probably the hardest part in life. | ||

As a pre-medical student, I would like to sincerely thank you for sharing this inspiring story. It was like looking through a window into what doctor's have to face daily. Thank you for sharing. | ||

It was like looking through a window into what doctor's have to face daily. Thank you for sharing. You're welcome. In pre-med you might not really get all that's going to go through your daily work in the future. Talk to a physician, maybe one of your teachers. Besides the subject they teach you, they can also provide invaluable work experience and that prepares you a lot more than reading a whole book's chapter. Good luck through pre-med, sir! | ||

Helping people; psychologically and arguably, it's the most rewarding and self-satisfaction thing you could possibly get. It absolutely doesn't matter what your job is (whether you're a doctor, repairman, salesman), nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing a smile on someone's face and receiving a 'thank you'. Saving lives ranks the highest in the Maslow's pyramid. Gives the highest mental reward one could imagine, which is why people like you, strive to save people. Healing Hands. | ||

 Still, since I can't speak too much, I've still got 2 days of speech-ban to go through. Writing what I want to say to my folks at home sucks :C | ||

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe when I actually get on a vacation (still 3 months away for the 1st one in 3 years). And don't worry, I won't waste my vacation going to Africa to beat the shit out of a tiger (even though I'm struggling to think where in hell will I find one in AFRICA). I'll go to an MLG or maybe Dreamhack. Or maybe both. I don't care if I have to travel the 7000 miles separating Chile from the USA or a couple thousand more miles from Europe to see some quality esports. So I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you won't see that shit on my blog, son. | ||

I ask this because the family made the decision to "limit" treatment on her, is this something usual? I'd guess you need the patient's approval for this right? If patient is unconscious or unable to make a call, and a treatment desicion is critical and has to be taken by the moment, the patient's next of kin can take it. If the patient had not been unconscious, and she had been lucid and in her right mind, she can make that call herself. However, this was not the case. In deep sopor and with her consciousness compromised, that call cannot be taken by the patient. BTW man, weren't you in your last year of internship? How are things going? Feel free to PM me. | ||
