I want to be able to look my doctor in the eye and know that he is still “all in” if I am.But, as you point out, when your ICP is in the 80s and you're on 15 cm of PEEP, you won't be able to do that, and, if your doctor is your REAL doctor and not a guy at the other end of the helicopter flight path, he will have to make some decisions.

Still, I have seen a guy last through a month of such storms and then a year later walk out of the hospital.

I guess the point I was getting at is while some may complain that doctors do these things shifting the burden to lawyers and/or politicians is not an improvement. If you don’t want the job don’t go to Med School. If you don’t trust the doctors don’t go to them. Libtards efforts to “fix” things NEVER go well. When will we learn?

Oh, and ANY doctor at my bedside at 0300 is MY doctor!
