Abstract:
A hospital bed in the Intensive Care Unit sits ominously vacant. The family of the patient has just made the gut-wrenching decision to remove the ventilator, and life-support equipment. End-of-Life issues are some of the most common ethical dilemmas that face hospitals every day. But there are a large number of other questions and conflicts that confront hospital personnel. To tackle the issues, many hospitals have formed multi-disciplinary ethics committees to help patients, families and staff approach the really tough problems.
