and then answer the following questions.
1. Choose one of the conversations that takes place between the doctors and the patient and/or the
doctors and the patient’s family (write which patient and/or patient’s family you’ve chosen) and
discuss how well you think the doctors communicated. Why did they ask the questions they did?
Do you think they gave enough information? Do you think they answered questions the best way
possible? How was their tone and manner of speaking with people?
2. How do you think doctors should balance the wishes of the family and close friends regarding
the care of the dying person versus the wishes of the dying person? Look at how decisions were
made for Norman Smellie and/or for Marthe Lauraville, explaining how decisions were made,
and if you think those were the best WAYS to make decisions in those cases, and if those were
actually the best decisions in those cases.
3. Dr. Nelson says “Nobody wants to die badly” and that the doctors “try to make the death a
good death.” Dr. Osman says that perhaps “the concept of a good death probably matters more to
those who are around the one who is dying.” Discuss what you think a “good death” is AND
whether you think each of the following persons: John Moloney, Albert Alberti, Norman
Smellie, had a good death (I’m aware that you don’t actually see their deaths, but some of the
time leading up to them).
4. The doctors, several times, express uncertainty and doubt over whether they did the right thing
by their patients, whether they actually reduced harm and suffering and actually offered benefit.
They also talked several times about “quality of life,” or a condition “they [the patients] would
find acceptable.” Dr. Nelson says that there are over 100,000 chronically or critically ill persons
being kept alive on ventilators at a cost of $20-$25 billion a year. What are your thoughts about
this?
