An Ethical Dilemma!

- Okay sure doctor, let us discuss it outside
- Good afternoon Dr. Vana!I will be prescribing rtPA to reinstate cerebral perfusion and relieve the patient's stroke symptoms.
- Doctor Jim, since the patient is unconscious, I believe we should ask the caregiver if the patient is a suitable candidate for rtPA since this medication is an animal derived pharmaceutical and it contradicts with the patient's belief since as per his history, he is an activist for animal rights and is a vegetarian.
- I understand your concern Dr. Vana! However, this is a life-or-death situation. If the patient does not receive this treatment, he will have large vessel occlusion which will eventually lead to serious complications or even death.
- Hello Dr. Vana! Thank you for keeping me updated and educating me regarding my husband's case and the medication required. However, I would disagree and would forbid my husband to take this medication knowing how ethical he is when it comes to abiding by his beliefs. So, it's a definite no!
- Hi Mrs. Kim,I want to provide you with detailed information regarding the medication your husband will be receiving. It's called rtPA which is an anticoagulant, used in case of emergencies derived from animal origin. Are you okay with that being given to your husband given his sets of beliefs?
