@C7RKY @Modernleader the patient's consent and needs/interests are no1, the family/relatives must play 2nd fiddle
@Modernleader @bendean1979 Also says no need to obtain agreement if you think it may cause distress. Get out of jail free card being abused?

@bendean1979@Modernleader I half agree with you here. Just lost faith that all docs act in patient's best interests too. For good reason :( -
@C7RKY@Modernleader fair enough! it is a two edged sword though, but generally most family members are very reasonable -
@bendean1979@Modernleader I do think too many are crying foul re LCP misuse, for them all to be wrong Ben. Focuses on lack of discussion. -
@c7rky@modernleader not saying they are! But lcp scaremongering is not productive, as Mail rubbish for example -
@bendean1979@modernleader But BMA have now acknowledged that something underpins that scaremongering, surely? Genuine cause for concern now -
@C7RKY@Modernleader can you link to BMA source? -

@C7RKY@Modernleader it is not a get out of jail card! and if you withdrew it, it would create many massive problems -
@bendean1979@Modernleader I didn't say withdraw it. I know it's a tool with an invaluable purpose. Just think its application is debatable. -
@C7RKY@Modernleader it is the application of palliation that is debatable, and it matters now whether LCP exists or not

@C7RKY@Modernleader bad practice needs rooting out, obviously, but I don't think LCP is a cause as ignorant media pretendsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@C7RKY@Modernleader family/relatives should always be informed, where possible, but there are good exceptions to all rulesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
