Description

Between an adult patient and physician they are the only two people that have a say in the patient’s medical treatment with the patient having the final say. In pediatrics, there is a patient, parent, and physician which adds a third party that is a proxy decision maker for the child but lacks absolute authority over the child’s treatment. The goal of this study is to give a sense of the diversity of the pediatric ethics literature regarding parent/physician disagreements and to address ambiguities about pediatric interventions.
