Nicholas Makins, Choice Under Uncertainty about Patient Preferences

[@samuelmaia9138]

Thanks for the talk. Very interesting. I would add to your last remark (on how the expected value theory may be applied in a less formal way) that I think it is possible to build protocols for medical action guided by the expected value approach - so as not to require such computation of the private physician. It seems to me that, for example, there is some repetition of certain types of cases of uncertain patients' preferences - the case of blood transfusion is one of them -, and this would turn designing protocols based on your approach a more feasible alternative.

Expected value theory will be a topic in major lawsuits.

Patient doesn't want it..don't do it. it doesn't work.
