    I had a heart transplant 2 years ago and this video made me emotional, being a donor is such an amazing thing. I was 15 at the time and I randomly got sick and was in desperately in need of a new heart, thankfully I received one. I’m now 18 and just started university thanks to my donor. I know that when it’s my time to go I’ll be doing the same so that someone else can have a shot at life.

    The doctor/nurse are completely wrong in this case. Glad Dr Choi changed his mind. This man was clearly in a state of mind capable to consent to his medical care. He knew he was dying, and with ALS it’s a slow, painful death where you end up trapped in your body waiting to die. He is fully understanding of the fact the Heparin would kill him within hours, and he wanted that in order to save his organs and donate them to others .

    Why are people surprised or frustrated this has always been April’s character, she has always been anti-euthanasia always looking for ways to life not death. While Choi has always been a practical thinker that decides based on the patients situation, unlike April he doesn’t have a fixed stance so when euthanasia is requested and he knows it’s in their best interest and the interest of others he’s all for it. Plus you should understand April’s feeling here, having had a miscarriage. Their characters are dynamic that’s never going to change

      The problem is, he's not choosing between living or dying. He's choosing between quick painless death or a long, painful, slow, degrading death. It's not like he has cancer and there is a chance to beat it or something. There is no cure for ALS, it's a degenerative terminal disease, she should know this.

While Choi is a more practical thinker he thinks of the patients and there should be nothing more to it bcs he doesn’t want to be written up for not following the patients orders. April has a right to feel into red by Choi bcs he did not listen to her when he knew the medicine was going to make his brain damage worse.

    My granddad was very sick at the end of his life. he had Heart problems for many years and all the medications that were helping him damaged other organs so he needed medications for that and so on. At the end he was so sick and in so much pain. It were the days before Christmas and I had a wish I hated. My wish was that my granddad would die rather sooner than later. He died last december 25th at home after a christmasparty with all his children and grandchildren eating his favorite food. He was listening to "you raise me up" with my grandmother. She said: Beautiful song. And he answerd yes a second before passing away. It couldn't be more beautiful.

      I kinda know what you mean ...
      I wanted to become a doctor myself, but life and circumstances means that that dream died a death a very long time ago ...
      ... instead, I know that there are a number of First Aid courses I can take, and which I had been certified in, however that ran out. After the whole SARS-CoV-2 situation is over, I would love to recertified again, with as many additional qualifications available as possible, by, say, volunteering with the St. John's Ambulance ...
      I strongly suggest that, if you still have that passion to help people, and neither medical school for becoming either a doctor, nurse, or even a pathologist, is out of the question, just even having even knowledge about First Aid, especially in CPR, you never know if that may save a life ...
      Therefore, do your research, and see what is available within your grasp ...

      im not saying we are the same, but i have the same exact aspirations. i love singing as well but i also wanna be able to help people. watching this show had me realize myself that i will definitely have emotional shock whenever i see people at the risk of dying in front of me, and what scares me is that i wont be able to handle it.
      fortunately, the medical field is vast and there are instances where your empathy and the ability to understand and listen to people matters a lot at most times (psychiatry for example, which im aspiring to be). i am with you. i feel that i cannot be trusted with the lives of people at haste. but there's a lot more to medicine than this, as you're aware.

    • @ubiquitouslight
      @ubiquitouslight 4 ปีที่แล้ว +142

      Assisted suicide is actively giving the patient something to end their life. Everyone has the right to refuse treatment, since his advanced directive was done the hospital is not liable in his death, and treating him against his will is assault. Avoiding lawsuits is a priority in hospitals so the staff can't go against his wishes, if a doctor did treat him anyway they would personally be held responsible and the hospital would not have their back in court.

    My first reaction seeing them want to keep going despite is refusal was "stop being so selfish". If your patient tells you that they don't want treatment, they've lived their life, that they've accepted that they will die and are willing to die, that they're donating their organs after they die, and you still want to insist on "saving their life" you're being selfish. You're only thinking about what you're doing, what your 'job' or 'duty' is, only about yourself. That man had his time. He didn't want to be bound to a wheelchair and suffering, he wanted to go, and leave something good behind by donating his organs and tissues. They hyperfocused on saving his life as if it was the best option, but if he said he doesn't want to live and suffer, and he's giving his life to stop suffering and help people at the same time, why should they force him to keep living against his will?
    And seeing them try to "find a way" to make him keep living hurt to see too. Selfish.
