Medical Products Direct Another Medical Scenario?
Another medical scenario? - medical products direct
Case Study: Aiken, TD (2002). Legal and ethical physicians. Philadelphia. PA: WB Saunders Company, p. 170
A medical assistant is employed in the office of an oncologist. He greets a patient who knows, one of the 62 from leukemia. Their work shows that the white blood cells (WBC) down. The wizard provides this result to the doctor who orders an infusion of fresh frozen plasma (FFP). The wizard reminds the doctor that the patient is a Jehovah's Witness, a religious group that refused all blood products, including loyalty programs, in treatment. The doctor was furious. "Tell him I asked for medicine. Do not tell me it is a blood product. It is not red, if you can not guess. That's all I can help now."
If the lie to the patient's medical assistant to the doctor?
Must obey the doctor and patient?
If they refuse to submit to the patient that the doctor prescribed a blood product for them?
When doctors and disobedientoutpatient treatment is a blood product?
It is their only way to leave the office?
If he refuses to do what it has requested the doctor / director, may cost him his job?
What impact this decision has on the patient?
What is informed consent about everything, and come into play in your decision?
As the medical assistant, you must make a choice.

MED assistant it must not for a blood transfusion at the request of the CD, or is guilty of aggression, as the performance of all medical Procudures in a patient without the consent of the attack (although it saves lives!)
The physician should give the transfusion if the patient refuses the doctor. Call your social worker at the hospital and tell him the situation. Social worker for the patient (to convince, etc..) When the wizard is med is taken from their disobedience, they can sue for wrongful dismissal against the dr.
