American Academy of Emergency Medicine - Un podcast de American Academy of Emergency Medicine
In this first episode of Critical Choices, Dr. David Soffer and host Dr. Melissa Myers discuss non-beneficial care, also called futile care. How do we talk to families, particularly when time constraints are present? When does care cross the line into unethical, even if requested by the family? This episode considers these difficult questions, and offers some advice to Emergency Physicians facing difficult decisions.
