In health care, patients and families often face the difficult and uncertain question of “what treatment choices should be made?” The best choice for one may not be the best choice for another.
Here are some questions others have asked:
“I have to make a serious decision about a treatment that could affect how long I may live. After talking it over with my health care team, I am still not sure I agree with the doctor’s recommendation.”
“My mother is too sick to make her own decisions. How do I know what is best for her now?”
“Our family is unsure and upset. We don’t agree about the right thing to do for our brothers care.”
Our Spectrum Health care team is there to help you navigate these tough decisions. However, if you are still not sure about what is right or what should be done, you may wish to request an ethics consultation.
