Even more complicated is debating if it's ethical to take someone off the machine if it leads to savings more people. I know triage and giving up on treatment has precedent, but I'm not too familiar with forced removal of on-going treatment, knowing it will kill someone.
- tnias23 3y agoI wouldn’t be surprised if combat medics are trained in triage ethics adjacent to this. Dumb example: you only have one tourniquet, and it’s on someone who will probably die, and suddenly you have another person who will only die if they don’t get that tourniquet.
- darkerside 3y agoGreat example. I'm curious if anyone has experience with this or similar.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoThere's difference in removing a tourniquet from someone who will likely die even with the tourniquet verses taking someone off a machine who won't die while on it, but is permanently reliant on it.
