HA3300D – Healthcare Policy and Ethics

Discussion 03: Conflict of Responsibility

Suppose you are the healthcare manager in a hospital oncology (cancer) unit. Every day, you see patients and families suffer a great deal because of cancer. One day, you learn that one of the oncologists is seeing a larger number of patients go into remission. Upon further investigation, you learn that he is using medication and treatment methods not yet approved by the American Medical Association. You find out that other countries are using the treatment effectively, but most in the medical community are skeptical because it is a non-traditional approach to treating cancer.

You and the physician are the only ones who understand the medical and legal implications: that the patient will die if he stops, but the hospital could be sued for malpractice if you continue to offer him this treatment. The doctor accepts the risk and promises not to tell anyone if you do not. He goes on to say he will stop once he is finished treating a current patient who will surely die if he stops treatment.
