"Patient is 'In DUE' capacity" -Informed (info provided to patient) -Decides (decision is expressed) -Understands (able to relay info provided) -Explains (reasoning behind decision)

@@DirtyMedicine Okay hi me again, came back to this vid. Sooooo if a person if found to not have capacity and then is found to have capacity 30 mins later (example in the high yield section at the end), is that the same as them changing their mind? Or would it be more along the lines of them not being able to communicate their decision clearly/not understanding their illness/unable to explain etc, then being able to 30mins later (first scenario, has capacity), whereas the constant changing of decision would flat out be no capacity?

[@ajaffs17]

I suppose I'm wondering that what if they communicated a clear decision, and then changed their mind on the decision 30 mins later.... where does that fall in?

[@krutikpatel1330]

@@ajaffs17 i think changing their mind = no capacity

[@Cass_i]

I'm also guilty of mixing the two. This really helped me to make the distinction 😊👌

Best Mnemonic of all time: ARE U sure you have capacity? Appreciation Reasoning Expressing a decision Understanding

[@tigerlopez1037]

Hi question, when asking the patient what might happen if you leave ?? and they use the exact same phrase repetitively ..... Would this mean that they don't have capacity ?

[@juliusl5211]

Medical ethics questions are HARD! Thank you for these videos.

[@Comfortzonehere]

“Dirty ethics” love the name

[@mgmartin51]

Great

[@miamarvel616]

thanks!

[@staphaureus5809]

The example for criteria number 1 - is it right to threaten the patient with the consequences of leaving the hospital? Or does it apply only in situations like non complaince??

[@kokocipher685]

what does "codes" mean?

[@Roo7529]

Do you have a video regarding organ transplant? Which patient is more eligible for an organ compared to another? Is there any order of priority or certain conditions that would not allow a patient to receive an organ?

[@muhammadayyaz4733]

Is there any PDF notes someone made for later review?

[@minarichowdhury6889]

can someone explain me the last slide where the first point says it can change decision to decision.....and last line that says changing there mind arent they the same thing?? please some one explain me

[@MedicalBlackBook]

Omggg patient act stupid hahahhahaha that was so cute omgg 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@sunitigoel5105]

In the example that was given in the beginning, the 55 year old with schizophrenia and diagnosed with pneumonia, does he have capacity? Because near the end of the of the video it was mentioned that he has capacity and I really wanted to confirm.

[@kamran3969]

Yes, this patient has the capacity because he fulfills the criteria of understanding, appreciating, coming to the decision in a logical manner and is able to communicate his final choice.
