Following guidelines, rules and protocols is a must when you are taking care of the ICU patients. Yet, invariably, family’s wishes and concerns will change the way you treat your patients, even the sickest ones. Medical care doesn’t stop even after you pronounce the patient brain dead (see image above). If the family is interested in organ donation you have to “keep the body going” so that somebody can get a “second chance” by getting those organs. The one question that always comes up when dealing with a potential organ donor – are we being aggressive enough in “recruiting” eligible organ donors? Are we taking away somebody’s hopes for better life or even survival when taking “No” for an answer?
