Good morning listeners! Welcome to the third episode of the MedEthix Podcast. It's Yash and Neil, and we are excited to continue our discussion of ethical dilemmas with you. This episode covers "Case Disagreement Over Advanced Directive," which covers an 80 year-old male suffering from a multitude of medical problems, ranging from low blood pressure to stroke and End-Stage Renal Disease. Though he is left on dialysis in order to keep him alive, the male's daughter is his DPOA (Durable Power of Attorney). The clash of opinion within the man's daughter, her siblings, and the medical staff presents us with a unique ethical dilemma.  Please follow along, and message us about any questions, dilemmas, or viewpoints you would like to share with us. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to stay ethical!

The case discussed in this episode is taken from the "Disagreement over Advance Directive." Please check out their website for the complete case study (this page is linked below), and any other ethical dilemmas you would like to explore.
