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]

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.

I wanted to become a doctor myself, but life and circumstances means that that dream died a death a very long time ago ... ... instead, I know that there are a number of First Aid courses I can take, and which I had been certified in, however that ran out. 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 ...

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.

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.

Thanks to Chicago med I am now an organ donor. So I save lives and my loved ones know that I still live on.

[@miaipadkid8697]

So after death you want some people to saw open your body and rip out your organs and put them into other people...

[@tiny_rose9761]

@@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?

@@jamcat1584 I'm still not. Even though I have a chance to save others I'm not getting my body harvested of my organs.

[@KatLuff]

A doctor and a nurse should have at least some understanding of quantity versus quality of life. Why would ANYONE want to live for another year, bedridden with broken bones, knowing that by the time the bones healed, their disease will have progressed to the point of making them a vegetable anyways? Living and being alive aren't the same thing.

I have hydrocephalus, it is absolutely excruciating when pressure builds up in my brain by either blood or spinal fluid. I don’t know how this guy is actually surviving this oh my lord I recently had a blood clot that took 3 months to chip away at but it cleared my shunt which helped the spinal fluid flow again. I understood the risk that bleeding was gonna be a lot heavier and I’d bruise a lot more but I didn’t want life to end cause I’ve done it several times over the last few years.

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.

Takes courage of conviction to calmly walk purposefully into the Unknown

[@cloudstone123]

The man had accepted his pending death and wanted to die with dignity while saving other people in dire need and all they could think about was extending his suffering to make themselves feel better. Where is the benefit in making a dying person stay alive against their will?
