Hello. I'm Dr. George Lundberg, this big day midbagi.
Death is not the enemy. Die.
Enemies of patients and doctors are premature death, sickness, disability, pain, suffering humanity.
I believe that all people deserve the death with dignity and without pain. Palliative care is the correct mode for 80 percent of all Americans who will die of progressive incurable diseases. Eighty per cent of that State that you do not want to die in hospitals and especially in the intensive care unit.
However, this is exactly what happened to so many Americans often against their will. Some designated persons with knowledge so American practice of aggressive intervention in patients who are really desperate diseases as a form of torture or abuse.
Hospital at the end of life for many. The problem is that many patients and physicians to take a lot of time to decide to go to hospital or radiation.
Of course, some people really want to fight harder on their lives as long as possible, whatever form of harmful effects on themselves and their families, and costs involved.
Key to obtain the right for patients with chronic illness, disease, and having a conversation, call it counselling, with doctor about how to deal with the end of their lives.
We all know, supports literature not many institutions already follow the desires of patients as represented in commands alive and living wills and advance directives.
We have in medicine to learn and practice an obvious fact. Value patient physician views and recommendations. Nursing personnel, including nursing homes, follow doctor's orders. Don't feed the pipeline if the doctor and patient (not just official or nurse, lawyer, social worker or athisist) agree that when it comes time to die any emergency rooms or hospitalization, in La gastrostomi, fourth fluids, antibiotics, pain relievers-but all necessary to maintain a dignified life free of pain. Then nature take its course.
Express agreement must be placed in the patient's chart, not in legal or administrative offices, and indeed, is likely to follow the wishes of the patient.
One doctor, one patient, one moment, one decision. Let us be a joint decision, better informed by evidence, bearing in mind cost material and emotional and financial.
This is my opinion. I'm Dr. George Lundberg for today's large midbagi.
