  • Title: Refusal: deciding to pull the tube.
    Author: Frank J.
    Journal: J Am Board Fam Med; 2010; 23(5):671-3. PubMed ID: 20823362.
    Abstract:
    A senior medical student grapples with her patient's end-of-life decisions, which are in stark contrast to the decisions made by her own grandfather facing a similar disease. As she explores her role and responsibility to her patient, she considers what it means to provide futile care and how to negotiate her own beliefs with the demands of her patient's family.
