@C7RKY@celticchickadee@LobeckDR You don't need consent to withold a treatment though! -
@DocMartin68@celticchickadee@LobeckDR I realise that's how it's regarded now. I'm just challenging that position as I'm unhappy with it :) -
@C7RKY@celticchickadee@LobeckDR Which bit are you unhappy with? -
@DocMartin68@celticchickadee@LobeckDR The fact that a decision to withhold is regarded as being outside of consent. I'd like that choice. -
@C7RKY@celticchickadee@LobeckDR on any treatment, from antibiotics for a cold to unnecessary surgery - doctors cannot be forced to treat -
@C7RKY@celticchickadee@LobeckDR sorry - those 2 tweets went in the wrong order! -
@DocMartin68@celticchickadee@LobeckDR Aah..I was waiting for the next one! Lol! I agree with that when it comes to medical intervention, > -
@DocMartin68@celticchickadee@LobeckDR I'm just not keen on withholding food & water being regarded in the same category. Different for me. - 1 more reply
