  • Doctors let a patient believe they're helping him die, when in fact they're actually sending him into a coma in order to carry out further tests on him.
    From House M.D. Season 3 Episode 3 'Informed Consent' - House and his team wrestle with an ethical dilemma when an elderly patient demands that they stop treating him and help him to die. Chase believes they should respect the patient's wishes, while Foreman and Cameron are opposed. House, meanwhile, is more interested in finding a cure.
    House (2004) Dr House, an ingenious and unsociable physician who flouts hospital rules, clashes with fellow doctors and his assistants as he comes up with controversial hypotheses about his patients' illnesses.

Given everything we know about these characters and how the series progresses, it represents them very well.

      @@ishaanawasthi416 Nope, Chase might not have known what House was going to do, but he respected the patients will and would want his doctor if ever he would be in the same position to keep his word and end his life before further suffering.
      There is nothing wrong with euthanesia in terminal cases, it's really nothing different from respecting do not resuscitate. A doctor needs to choose the best treatment for their patient not elongate their suffering on personal believes. Now they do not have to do the euthenasia themselves but should also not prevent another doctor from doing it if that is their patients will and no doctor should ever be prosecuted for it.
      It's a process and no, euthanasia should not be done because someone just wants it or taken lighthearted at the first diagnoses, but in terminal cases it's actaully the most humane treatment a doctor can give their patient once the terminal diagnose has been given. It should never hang on the personal beliefs to keep a patient alive untill they inevitably die just to keep your own concience clear for whatever belief. Just hand it over to someone else who is more compasionate after reviewing the case and who is willing to let the patient die on their own terms and in dignity and have peace with the patients choice because it simply is the right choice.

    I wish actual real-life doctors understood the concept of not pushing hard enough during a stress test (which, btw, can be done via epinephrine infusion. that's what I had done. idk what cameron is on about with the whole "that's not protocol" bit, but I rarely ever do). my first electrophysiologist refused to diagnose my congenital Long QT Syndrome because he wouldn't push my heart rate past 150, which would be a dangerously high hr in a healthy person, but we've already established that I'm not healthy. I also have POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, so pushing my heart to 150bpm is just simulating me sitting up in bed. he needed to push me into SVT to see the arrhythmia, which would've put my life in danger, but so does LQTS. I've already had one heart attack, I don't want to have another in order to be taken seriously. yes, the epi infusion could kill me, but the LQTS *will* kill me without diagnosis or treatment. push harder

  • @williamkang6789

    Notwithstanding Dr. House’s signature brand of medical sociopathy, this clip- and the episode it comes from- does a good job of demonstrating the tenuous balance that medicine in the real world strikes between two equally important ethical ideals: beneficence and non-malfeasance. To put it succinctly, beneficence is the act of doing good for someone, which is (hopefully) the goal when a patient visits the doctor. Non-malfeasance is the goal of avoiding hurting someone, which is (hopefully) a life goal in general. The problem is there are very few things in medicine that heal without at least the possibility of hurting as well. X-rays are a good example. Cancer doctors need X-rays in order to visualize and treat cancer. It is also a perverse fact that using X-rays in this way also increases the chances of developing cancer in the first place. Despite this downside, the reason we continue to use X-rays is because the good that comes from the former consideration is considerably better than the bad that comes from the latter.
    That balance between beneficence and non-malfeasance is crucial in deciding not just what to do medically, but how. Even when we need to do bad for a medically good reason- like when Cameron cuts off a piece of the patient’s skin for tests- we need to make sure it does the least amount of bad; that is to say, Cameron should have sterilized the skin to avoid infection and numbed it so as not to inflict pain on the patient. In fact, Cameron fails to act out of non-malfeasance when she cuts off the patient’s skin implicitly to hurt him, after she finds out the patient’s own record of less-than-stellar medical ethics. It goes without saying: this wouldn’t fly in real-world hospital.

      Earlier in the episode, House joked "I respect lots of doctors, but most of them look better in knee-socks" than the patient, the joke being that he "respects" attractive female doctors.
      The patient gets a pass for House's respect, despite not being that, because he has the same attitude as House and lets him do what he wants.

      When its terminal illness, there’s a point where its ethically wrong to keep someone alive, and I am firm on that stance.
      Once someone is in enough pain that they can’t properly function, or so deep in illness they’ll spend every moment of their time left hooked to machines in a hospital bed, forcing them to perpetuate that reality is wrong, as it prolongs and worsens their suffering in their final moments, as they feel those they trusted won’t even grant them a quick death and force them to live their days in pain.
