Exploitation of her lack of understanding 

# data[].attributes.body
The doctors are constantly taking advantage of the fact they are in an absolute position of power over the patient. When making decisions, regardless of ‘consent’ or ‘informed consent’, the patient would be influenced by what the doctor wants over what they want due to this imbalance.

# data[].attributes.body
Research/knowledge gain versus the wellbeing of the individual patient seems to be a consistent issue emerging. The doctors appear to be taking their trial of the ‘full dose’ over her personal and individual needs.

What are the implications if the nurse hadn't been there and recognised the doctor's error? What if she had been resuscitated?

# data[].attributes.body
Should they not have checked the chart first? Or are they required to respond automatically in situations like this?

# data[].attributes.body
did she end up signing a DNR?

It is interesting how the doctors' research is completed at the cost of patients. This is similar to the paradox that Viv touched on

Had Vivian not realised her medical treatment was used for research purpose, is it ethical to continue with the research without informing the patient?

i understand this is irrelevant but wow jason makes me so mad

can we all just agree these doctors are trash and they must be cancelled immediately

Did he actually obtain proper consent for the morphine drip? Is a slight nod sufficient?

Patient autonomy didn't seem to be taken into account when it came to the pain relief control. While it is important to control pain meds to avoid addiction or overdosing; I feel patient autonomy in that scene should of been considered by the doctor.

# data[].attributes.body
There seems to be a problem with the work environment in which this research trial takes place in and therefore a failing in the health care system. It also seems to be something the nurse is aware of, as seen in her reaction towards Jason’s initial consult and her comment “they should have told you” when she reveals the treatment is not working. However, no one in the film has taken pro-active steps to report the problems which are evidently present, opening the possibility for further failings of the health care system.

# data[].attributes.body
how do they know she is of sound mind to make that decision?

# data[].attributes.body
She "read between the lines" but she shouldn't have to - it's ridiculous that no one explained this regardless of whether she had an inkling or not.

# data[].attributes.body
As much as I love the nurse's character, should she be the one saying all this to her?

# data[].attributes.body
The nurse seems to be the first person to entertain the idea that she might be apprehensive or afraid of all the changes.

# data[].attributes.body
Why has nobody scheduled a bloody psych consult???

# data[].attributes.body
Should they just be able to leave patient files on the desk rather then securing them? Seems like a breach of confidence.

umat/ucat would destroy the young doc

Conversation about cancer being "awesome" is completely unprofessional and wrong coming from the doctor to patient

How much force/ pressure can a nurse or doctor put on a patient to have a test done?

# data[].attributes.body
Are docs legally able to take a patient into treatment/tests against their will?

# data[].attributes.body
If she were a less competent patient, who hadn't picked up on the symptoms at home as she did, how would the outcome have changed? Would her whole experience with treatment be different? How can the hospital staff assess how capable a patient is at living independently with this illness? How does a patient's own intellect/career impact this?

# data[].attributes.body
The nurse is the only one exhibiting the level of care and bedside manner that should be required of all medical professionals.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems that every doctor in this hospital seems overworked a little bit. Do they have enough doctors to give the patients the proper care they need? Could it be possible they are understaffed. Granted by law no doctor seems to be doing anything outside their role so their staffing levels appear legal. I feel they should have given the patient more care when she was clearly not okay.

Young doc

# data[].attributes.body
He goes against a recommendation made by his colleague because he believes that "she's tough" instead of considering her symptoms

# data[].attributes.body
the nurse shows more attentiveness to the patient rather than treating her as a medical 'object' - how important is the comfort provided to the patient through the process?

# data[].attributes.body
it seems that they are pressuring her to complete a full dose each treatment and not really giving her a choice

Doctors conduct was dehumanising and routine

Doctors conduct was dehumanising and routine 

# data[].attributes.body
Having that many doctors in a room, poking at her without consent and talking about the patient as a series of symptoms dehumanises her.

# data[].attributes.body
looks like they may be students - have they asked permission to be in the room for this?

How great of a role do the doctors/hospital staff have in ensuring that patients have a good support system? Contacting next of kin etc. Is it necessary to promote mental health of patients? Are they obligated to provide information about alternative support groups, other than family? (such as other patients with the same type of cancer?). What sort of counseling/mental health support does the hospital provide?

# data[].attributes.body
On the topic of showing care. I think the discussion the nurse had with the patient was an example of delivering good care. This care is important because it build trust with the patient. This trust is important because it stops issues escalating to ethical or legal issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Could she have requested a doctor who she didn't have a prior relationship with, no matter how minimal/professional the setting?

# data[].attributes.body
should he be conducting the exam given that he knows her?

# data[].attributes.body
Has he (the young doctor) explained the examination that he is conducting and what it involves?

# data[].attributes.body
He's just grabbing her and moving her body without actually asking her to move move her legs etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone listen to what she says?

# data[].attributes.body
Bedside manner, though not necessarily a legal issue, could it be an ethical or moral one? Potentially contributing to the trauma experienced by the patients?

# data[].attributes.body
Does it matter who she is or is she just a sickness?

# data[].attributes.body
Did she give consent? Does she know what is happening?
