Current Affairs Czech Doctors’ Chamber issues guidelines on treatment of terminally ill patients
Deciding when to stop treating terminally ill patients is an extremely sensitive issue and until now, doctors have had to make this decision alone and justify it to the patient’s relatives. Now the Czech Doctors’ Chamber has issued a set of guidelines which should help them decide when further treatment is futile. However the move has evoked criticism, with critics pointing out that such guidelines can be abused.
