How do you deal with situations where you know the Docs are not giving aggressive care to a patient?
You know those patients who "fall through the cracks" or for whom someone decides that they will not do all that is possible? I am not talking about the end stage diseased patients for whom nothing we do will save them, I am concerned with patients with mental illness or disabilities or patients from poverty for whom it is obvious that only so much treatment will be done for them. I believe I have seen several of these cases and it is really disturbing me. I don't feel that I can give details, because the patient's identity may be discerned, but I hope that some of you can share if you see this and how you deal with it.
