CASE STUDY John is a 46 year old man, married with two children, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. He wanted to know the diagnosis and was told. He has been deteriorating rapidly this past week. Now back at home, you have been asked to visit by his wife Dora and daughter Angela. When you arrive they explain that John doesn't know you have been called. You decide to see John for yourself, but at the bottom of the stairs, Dora grasps your arm and tells you John doesn't know he is dying, and she and Angela have decided he should not be told. Dora thinks it best if you go outside and ring the doorbell to make it look now as if you have just called in routinely to see John. |
