SOLVED2042
You are a hospital administrator who has been brought into a family meeting to discuss the “father” who has 4th stage colon cancer and all treatments have failed. The patient has declined significantly and the oncologist is suggesting hospice. The wife, son, and daughter will not listen and want the father to have the procedure for a “peg tube,” which is an invasive procedure to surgically insert a tube in the patient so they can receive enteral food. The oncologist stresses that the patient is not able to metabolize the enteral food and will only cause additional pain to the patient. The family will not listen; they want the procedure so “Dad” will get his strength back and fight cancer. Discuss: As the administrator who understands the ethical dilemma behind this, you must step in and help the family listen to the oncologist. Where do you go from here?
