End of Life Care Discussion

Please assist with the assignment below. Don’t forget minimum word count.

Below is from an internet article about why doctors should be talking with their patients about the death process instead of always focusing on trying to keep them alive. After all, death is inevitable.

Traditionally, a doctor’s primary job was to keep you alive, not discuss how you want to die — or even if you are going to. Now, the paradigm is shifting. Instead of employing extreme measures, doctors are increasingly learning how to stop interrupting death — and to talk about what that looks like.

“Patients need to know what is happening to them, so they can plan,” says Tamara Vesel, MD, chief of palliative care at Tufts Medical Center and professor at Tufts University School of Medicine. “And doctors need to see illness and death as an opportunity for societal and personal growth instead of a societal and personal failure.”

Our discussion this week…..Should we spend less time, money, assets, on keeping dying patients alive, or face the inevitable and let people die painlessly with dignity? Now, of course, we are talking about terminal patients. Think about a family member: Is a week of procedures to keep them alive worth the possible pain and suffering they may experience, or should we just let them go on with dignity. You can share your own experience if you like. Please share your opinions in 300 words or more.

(for last names beginning with I–P): Median (!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS ONE)>>>

Olivia Marsh posted Aug 10, 2020 2:03 PM

For this discussion, I will be discussing median. “The median represents the middle of the data, with half the observed values below the median and half the observed values above it. The mode represents the peak or most prevalent value” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). The study I found was called, “Translating Patient‐Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM ) scores into clinical practice by suggesting severity strata derived using anchor‐based methods” (2013) which was a study done to find the severity of atopic eczema. this study used the Patient‐Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM ) and two global questions for the assessment. For the data collected, they found the median score for different categories of the study like race, sex, and age. The median POEM score for all patients was 13. the median POEM score for males was 14 and for females was 13. There are several different medians found. I think the median was the best way to look at this information. the study also gave the mean which could work just as well so I think it would come down to which you would prefer to calculate.
