I'm facing a gut-wrenching dilemma at work, and I could really use some guidance.

A patient with a terminal illness is requesting a treatment that I believe is not only futile, but could actually worsen their quality of life in their final days. However, their family is adamant that we proceed, citing religious beliefs and a hope for a miracle.

I'm torn between respecting the patient's autonomy and my own professional judgment. I want to honor their wishes, but I also can't ignore my conscience and the potential harm this treatment could cause.

Has anyone else encountered a similar situation where you had to balance patient autonomy with medical ethics? How did you navigate that conversation with the family? How did you ultimately make your decision?

What misconceptions do you think people have about social work? or therapy?
Mine is my family still believes that only "sick" or unhappy people need to see a therapist, so they don't understand why I go to one since I have a job and a family. It's oldschool thinking and pretty annoying tbh.

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
