I have been watching this topic with much interest and I see both sides of the coin here. As a health care provider we are obligated to follow the wishes of this patient, it is her right to decline any advanced life saving measures she desires. But on the other side of this coin you could argue that maybe she wasn't compentent enough to make that decision. Maybe her understanding was impaired we do not know the extents of all her injuries the article was really not too informative on that aspect. What if her eye movement wasn't really in response to the questions she was being asked? I think maybe an ethics committee should have been called before she was taken off the vent. I would really have to have a lot more information about her condition, spinal injuries broken necks can be tricky in the best of worlds. Maybe more information is needed, its is easy for us to jump on the band wagon and say yeah she has the right to die but what if it wasn't really her wishes? Then we have committed the crime of murder.

There is really nothing wrong with having 2 preceptors depending on how the shifts run at the agencies you are doing your preceptorship at. And the time you are allowing yourself to get this preceptorship in. This is good in many ways due the possibilities of seeing the differences in the people that you are following could be some different ways to allow you to see calls and how they are handled, as well as two different ways of looking at things due to the individual that you are following. Hope this helped you out some.
