I had a heart transplant 2 years ago and this video made me emotional, being a donor is such an amazing thing. I was 15 at the time and I randomly got sick and was in desperately in need of a new heart, thankfully I received one. I’m now 18 and just started university thanks to my donor. I know that when it’s my time to go I’ll be doing the same so that someone else can have a shot at life.

The doctor/nurse are completely wrong in this case. Glad Dr Choi changed his mind. This man was clearly in a state of mind capable to consent to his medical care. He knew he was dying, and with ALS it’s a slow, painful death where you end up trapped in your body waiting to die. He is fully understanding of the fact the Heparin would kill him within hours, and he wanted that in order to save his organs and donate them to others .

[@Ebunoluwa13]

But it was still a selfish thing to do. Choi ALWAYS twists things to his narrative and manages to always change patients'minds somehow even if they never wanted to do something. It's called manipulation

Why are people surprised or frustrated this has always been April’s character, she has always been anti-euthanasia always looking for ways to life not death. While Choi has always been a practical thinker that decides based on the patients situation, unlike April he doesn’t have a fixed stance so when euthanasia is requested and he knows it’s in their best interest and the interest of others he’s all for it. Plus you should understand April’s feeling here, having had a miscarriage. Their characters are dynamic that’s never going to change

[@rhimanorangeley4083]

The reason I'm so frustrated on her is because she tried to make him feel guilty because of her lose and the is down right disgusting. If you're going to use your personal life to try and effect the will of a patient then you shouldn't be in healthcare.

@@kattd7524 Thank you for saying that. I was wondering about how such a situation would be dealt with in real life and personally, even if I'm not a medical professional, I would always adhere to the patient's wishes, regardless of my own feelings, provided they are able and capable to make an informed decision based on ALL the information provided to them. I know it's a show and all, but in reality, as you say, I think that April wouldn't be working in the medical field long.

[@suzan6254]

The problem is, he's not choosing between living or dying. He's choosing between quick painless death or a long, painful, slow, degrading death. It's not like he has cancer and there is a chance to beat it or something. There is no cure for ALS, it's a degenerative terminal disease, she should know this.

Rebecca Woodward pls understand that April thinks different to dr Choi, she thinks of life not death and she had a miscarriage so she understands how hard death is to other people. in this situation you should understand where she is coming from. While Choi is a more practical thinker he thinks of the patients and there should be nothing more to it bcs he doesn’t want to be written up for not following the patients orders. April has a right to feel into red by Choi bcs he did not listen to her when he knew the medicine was going to make his brain damage worse.

Assisted suicide is actively giving the patient something to end their life. Everyone has the right to refuse treatment, since his advanced directive was done the hospital is not liable in his death, and treating him against his will is assault. Avoiding lawsuits is a priority in hospitals so the staff can't go against his wishes, if a doctor did treat him anyway they would personally be held responsible and the hospital would not have their back in court.

[@canaw1670]

After the whole SARS-CoV-2 situation is over, I would love to recertified again, with as many additional qualifications available as possible, by, say, volunteering with the St. John's Ambulance ... I strongly suggest that, if you still have that passion to help people, and neither medical school for becoming either a doctor, nurse, or even a pathologist, is out of the question, just even having even knowledge about First Aid, especially in CPR, you never know if that may save a life ... Therefore, do your research, and see what is available within your grasp ...

My first reaction seeing them want to keep going despite is refusal was "stop being so selfish". If your patient tells you that they don't want treatment, they've lived their life, that they've accepted that they will die and are willing to die, that they're donating their organs after they die, and you still want to insist on "saving their life" you're being selfish. You're only thinking about what you're doing, what your 'job' or 'duty' is, only about yourself. That man had his time. He didn't want to be bound to a wheelchair and suffering, he wanted to go, and leave something good behind by donating his organs and tissues. They hyperfocused on saving his life as if it was the best option, but if he said he doesn't want to live and suffer, and he's giving his life to stop suffering and help people at the same time, why should they force him to keep living against his will? And seeing them try to "find a way" to make him keep living hurt to see too. Selfish.

@@miaipadkid8697 Well I want to be a heart surgeon or an actress as my career, so if I can then have the opportunity to save lives or save more lives I will take it. And I know when someone dies that you love it really is awful so at least my family will know that I’m not gone.

@@miaipadkid8697 you do understand that it doesn’t hurt since you’re already dead? Also, you’re saving the lives of others. Something good can come out of your death. And it’s not like there wont be a body to bury or cremate, the doctors dont take your entire body. Isn’t the possibility to save and better someone’s life at the cost of nothing a reason to register as an organ donor?

I have a huge respect for people who donate my dads donor allowed me to have him watch me graduate high school which we never knew possible before so if there’s any5hing I can say to you is as sad as death may be donating will allow someone to be a part of their kids or even their own special moments because people pass on but they can allow someone to keep their loved one around

Some of us don't want family around because we would have to deal with their emotions. And some of us don't have family period

[@elpatogrande385]

I think the nurse should not express her emotions in front of the patient so much. He is already going through hell and she is making everything worse for him.

there's a law when u cant kill someone when they ask u even when u wanna help in the eyes of the law its murder i get that he wants to help but when he goes they're gonna take the blame

[@anneliselim602]

This is not considered as murder. Lots of patients die cuz they refuse to give consent or they can't pay. and the hospital let them be. In your sense, they'd be assisting suicide. Consent comes before life. He gave consent, even if his family sues later on, the doctors won't be blamed. He refuses any sort of treatment that can save his life. He did it to protect the organs. It's all justified. Dr. Choi gave him the option of heparin which is to the patient's interest. Providing enough of information to enable the patients to make their decisions is the doctor's duty. Not giving them information or going against their wishes is selfish and illegal. The decision they make is on them.

April cant just take her personal opinion to work, its not her decition, its not her life, its not her organs in the real world she could recieve a warning or even be fired for acting like that

[@edwardoliver7610]

I don't understand their problems with letting someone who will not live a life worth living live. to continue a life where your bodie is your prison is not worth it

[@patchworkangel0210]

i feel like this show cycles between each character having the "but the patient is refusing treatment and we should respect that" and "but how is it okay to just do nothing and let this patient die??" every single clip is like a dice toss of who gets to be who today.
