RE: How do you judge equanimity when you have the power of life and death in your hands?

in Proof of Brain4 years ago

Wait a minute, the medical terms just got complicated

Please break it down for me

Did you mean the patient was already dead but the medical personnel in charge connected her to the artificial respirator in order to extort money from her relatives?

Damn, if that is what it was about, then that was a terrible act, and I am glad your friend was against it

Sort:  

Medically the patient was already dead, although she had signs after resuscitating her, her ability to respond to different stimuli, such as vision, hearing, or reaction to pain, and other factors, was completely null.
At that point is where we declare what is called brain death, it is a state from which very, very little has been able to return.

And to be honest of the cases in which I have had brain dead patients, none have been able to return!

Oh it is such a pity

And to be honest of the cases in which I have had brain dead patients, none have been able to return!

May I ask how you normally deal with such losses or cases where you can not do anything to save a life?
