1. Rupture a aorta with unstable vitals---> the result is fatal. Therefore, this case belongs to a life-sustaining treatment.

2. If ni living will or DPOA ( attorney) exists, decisions should be made by close family members ( spouse, adult children, parents and adult siblings).

3. In this case, wife say no, kids say yes. Listen to wife.
4.
1 urgent operation i wont listen to wife with no proof of any court orders making her legal communicator may be father trsuted one of the kids more than the wife so in this case since there is no legal obligation i will listen to noone since its life threatening ER, i will just go ahead and save the life coz thats what i have sworn in for, to save lives.
well said thats my point too
