“The doctor that posted this does not subscribe to the notion of sacrificing older patients so there are more resources for younger more viable patients.”
My family knows him quite well.
And Of course he does. Though he (and I) probably wouldn’t describe it that way)
When he has 2 patients crashing at once one has been on vent for past 2 weeks and getting worse the other just showed up and had been stable until now.
How does he decide who to help?
Does he flip a coin ?
Of course he chooses who he thinks is more likely to benefit whether consciously or subconsciously
