1B. should his family have been consulted? Should his age have impacted the decisions?
What about the fact that his use of services limited access for others? Provide your concluding thoughts.

As the amount of medical cost is increasing, consulting a family member is important. Family members may be responsible for the medical treatment cost, and may not afford to pay the full amount. Patient is most likely would get some coverage from Medicare, however all cost may not be fully covered. Consulting with family about cost and medical procedure is essential with such critical situation. On the other hand, his use of services is limiting access for other patients by using most of sources (money, time, medical products). Mr.Waston’s has used about 10% of drug supply; as the procedure and treatment has limited source and distribution, it is essential for caregivers to use there sources wisely and dispense the drug supply throughout 163 patients. Providing medical care for one significant patient can initiate ethical dilemma. In a situation where medical cost is tremendously expensive to treat an individual, sharing the source is important.
As individual illness get worse as there age, it might have impacted in the decisions. Indeed, closer attention is needed to treat such illness. Putting in to consideration and analyzing the amount of time, energy, and money that needs to spend in one patient is critical. Looking for alternative treatment that are cost effective is important in such situation. Distributing medical budget equal with all patient is also important.
Hospital has the right to say “time out” when the care givers has provided all the possible treatments and methods to treat patient, if the physicians does not see any progress or result from the treatments that was provided, if patient has not shown any sort of improvement.
