Your friend needs to file a complaint with the joint commission and if applicable CMS against the hospital. Additionally, file a complaint with the state board of medicine against the doctor (license complaint). This is not comfort care. Unless specific direction from the POA or properly drafted snd certified living will specifying withholding of nutrition and / or fluids, this is an egregious violation of our cannon of ethics. Period.
Thank you. Will do.
The liquids and nutrition = “curative treatment” seemed like a horror film.
Your a good man.
