Hi. Great Video! Q: What is the point of an IMCA, surely doctors should act in the best interest of the patient as isn't that the same as the same decision that the IMCA would make?
Really appreciate your efforts to save lost souls like mine from utterly flunking interviews😂 so thank you guys just wanted to show some love nasir and kenji it's been truly helpful. Btw dope glasses kenji
Very informative! What about if there is a known Jenovah's Witness who is unconscious (cannot give consent) and needs an urgent blood transfusion. Do you think the blood transfusion should be done in this case? Awesome video as always btw! 👏🏻
@@MubaraqHamzat ok thanks, I was thinking the same, since Jehova's witnesses made a "living will" not to accept transfusions as far as I remember, but the fact that she's unconscious and therefore can't give consent makes the question really tricky 😅
@@franm47 you can call the priest of that particular sect of Christianity, and see whether he can allow blood transfusion exclusively for the patient .
Francesco Marinelli Francesco Marinelli yeah, the jehovas witness being unconscious, giving them the blood transfusion seems like the safer option😅 . But yh, like you said, if they're a known Jehovah's witnesses, then we just gotta respect their autonomy to refuse blood transfusions. Especially if they've left an advanced directive or have a LPA saying they don't want the transfusion. If the jehovas witness never made a statement or said they definitely don't want a transfusy and they haven't left an advanced directive etc. (So basically u just know that there a jehovas witness that's it.) In that case i would talk about calling up the parents or close friends/family. Or if it's really needed, then get an IMCA involved, but doubt you'd need that.
Great question! I agree with Mubaraq. Simply knowing that they are of the Jehova's Witness faith wouldn't be enough to justify not giving them the transfusion. However, if they and they also have full evidence of an advanced refusal of blood transfusions, then you would have to respect their autonomy and not give the transfusion
Hey, kenji👋🏾 watching your CZcams videos (like literally all of them) has been a huge eye opener to the career that I would like to pursue(to be a doctor , not sure if I want to specialise but Yh).I’m only in y11 but it just seems like everyone knows what they want to do and how to get there, so in a way I’m trying to do the same. Although some of the things you talk about are completely indecipherable to me , most is and because of you medicine is becoming much clearing to me. Just a side note, I love your vlogs and would love to see more 💆🏾♀️ oh and nice glasses 🤣
Eyyy thank you so much for the support and I'm glad to know my videos are helping you towards choosing your career path! Let me know if I can make that decision any easier for you. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely plan some more day in the life and vlog videos :)
always a buzz to get that video alert aha! Loved this one just as a matter of interest as well as preparing for interview, it’s always so good to hear people who are passionate talking about something so interesting. Top quality content as always, Cheers Kenji & Nassr 🍻❤️

Great video! Let's say there is an emergency situation where the patient cannot provide consent due to a suicide attempt, should treatment still be provided if there is no advanced refusal and no Do Not Resuscitate forms signed? Would providing treatment still be in the best interests of the patient?
Good question! You still would assume that the person would want to be saved and provide emergency treatment because you don't know what position they were in when they tried committing suicide. For example, they could have been suffering from a treatable mental illness, have been pressured into it or it may not even have been a suicide attempt (although it may appear so). Hope this helps!
Sooo I was just wondering you guys mentioned that an exception is if it presents a risk to the public. Would an example be for example a disease like TB? I know that for TB a doctor has to report it for this specific reason so I think that could be a valid reason? Thanks x
Hey Milena! I don't think TB would present with enough of a risk to the public. Something more highly infectious such as ebola would be an exception :) x
Last minute question, I love your videos and have my interview tomorrow 😂 What about if it’s clear a patient doesn’t give consent but his decision was pressured by a someone? Because in that case the decision isn’t voluntary so what do you do? Do you just accept the refusal or seek someone’s help to assess the capacity of a patient?
Great question! In this situation you'd want to make sure the patient has capacity to make their own decision. If they do and you feel like the family is pressuring them, you'd want to speak to the family and let them know that it has to be his own independent decision. You might ask to speak to the patient alone and let him know that although his family can advice him, he has to make the decision. You could even ask him if he feels pressured in making the decision. Good luck!! :)
Was great having you over Kenji!
Thanks for having me over bro! Hopefully we can get Call of Duty to work next time 😂
Thank you so much, this was so useful!!!! Could you possibly do a video like this on current NHS issues/latest news??

Francesco Marinelli I'm gonna say no, don't do the blood transfusion.
