“This gentleman is Ethan Zinker,” Dr. Clara Woods said.
She bent over the bed and put her stethoscope to the chest of the
elderly man. He stirred but showed no sign of waking. “He’s got
pneumonia,” Dr. Woods said, straightening up. “But aside for being
ninety-two years old, and having lost a few of his marbles, nothing
else is wrong with him. If we treated him aggressively with
antibiotics, he might live for another six or eight years. Maybe
more.” She shrugged. “But we’re only controlling his fever and
keeping him comfortable.”
“How come you’re not giving him antibiotics?” Dr. Robert Elias was
shocked. He was Morningside Hospital’s new bioethicist and it was
his first morning of making rounds with Dr. Woods. “I mean, he has
a life-threatening disease that usually responds well to
therapy.”
“Right,” Dr. Woods said, nodding. “But he’s also got an advanced
directive that tells us in no uncertain terms not to intervene.”
She flipped through the chart until she located the social worker’s
report. “He was the Powell professor of physics at Columbia. A very
smart guy, he couldn’t stand the idea of not being mentally sharp
and active.”
“So he said if he began to fail mentally, then if he needed
treatment to keep him alive, he didn’t want to have it.” Dr.Elias
was beginning to understand.
“Exactly,” Dr. Woods said. “But the funny thing is, when he started
to get senile and moved into the nursing home, he quite liked it.”
She smiled. “He couldn’t recognize his daughter most of the time,
but he knows the people he lives with and sees everyday. He’s made
a couple of friends, and according to these notes, he like watching
reruns of X-Files.”
“He should be treated,” Dr. Elias said flatly. “The idea of not
treating someone who is evidently enjoying life struck him as very
wrong.”
“I think so, too,” Dr. Woods said. “The only right course of action
is to ignore the advance directive and treat him. Let’s face it,
Professor Zinker didn’t know what his life would be like now when
he gave his directive. It wouldn’t be a good life for him the way
he used to be, but that’s not the way he is now.” His expression
turned grim. “He needs to be treated, before it’s too late to help
him.”
