    With suicidal patients they can hold them 3 days without consent, but they can’t feed someone dying without consent?

      Fairy on Ice she had legal documents from before she arrived in the ER. It counteracts it. You can technically do the same thing with suicide, actually very easy to do. All you have to say is that trapping or forcing to do anything out of the individuals control or consent would not only be detrimental to the individuals health but also counter productive. As long as they’re proven to be of sound mind when they make that decision then it goes through.

    When anorexia gets this bad it should really be considered just as bad as being suicidal- even before it gets this bad. She's obviously not "sound of mind" even if her papers say so.

      She had papers drawn up from long before she showed up in the ED. If her lawyers agree she was of sound mind when she drew them up, there's nothing they can do to stop her. I used to be anorexic and looked into that option when I realized I was gonna end up in the ER one day; didn't do it because my therapist got through to me before I got below 70lbs. If they had gone through, though, there'd have been nothing the doctors could have done to go against my will.

      Unfortunately, it was her decision and her right. If she was in a right state of mind, when she signed the legal documents, there is nothing you can do. Sure, it sucks but you can’t go against her will. Especially not in America ....
      My dad is a doctor and many years ago the parents of a little boy didn’t want him to get a life-saving surgery (religious reasons) and he had to watch the kid die even though he could have helped him! They even got the hospital’s lawyers involved but the boy died earlier than expected

    Everyone’s saying the dr Choi was focusing on her physical health rather then mental and mental should be first priority. But to be able to make progress with her mental state you have to treat the physical state before to make the patient strong to survive the mental rehabilitation

    • @petitesayo4542
      @petitesayo4542 Před 5 lety +84

      Yes but curing her physical state that harshly without caring about what mental damage he's going to do isn't going to heal her but rather only make her survive.
      Focusing only on her physical needs like he did will only traumatize her and make her be even more stressed when people will try to help her, thus making her drown herself in her anorexia. The goal is to heal her out of her anorexia, not to traumatize her, which will just make things worse.
      She will come back at the hospital the next weeks and months and one time, you will not see her again because she will be dead.
      She needs a good mental state to heal her physical state. That's why anorexia is so horrible : they are trapped in a never ending circle.
      That being said, he had to do something and had to feed her. The problem here isn't that he fed her but that he did it in a very insensitive and degrading way.
      He had a job to do and doing it well was part of it, which he didn't.

    • @Athena-ft1lv

      Petite Sayo As someone who is in recovery from multiple Eating disorders, i completely understand the trauma of what dr Choi did to his patient. But as you said, he had to do something.
      Being fed against your will is the most horrific thing while battling anorexia, but if it’s going to keep you alive then it has to be done.
      with time and the correct help trauma can be healed, maybe not fully but to a point where the sufferer can bare it.

    I made friend with this little girl who suffered from anorexia in the psychiatric ward. She wasn't actually little, she was 23, short and frail, blessed with a delicate face and cursed with a horrible father who used to beat her, remind her everyday how useless she was, what a burden her existence was in their lives and how she never was meant to be born. She started feeling like something that wasn't even supposed to be in the world and her desire to disappear led her body to shrink down to 32kg (70 pounds). Then she moved out to a far away private rehab clinic; we used to text each other every week. Then after 2 months she stopped. Her name was Angela.

    I shouldn’t laugh, but I loved it when she says to Dr Choi, “I’m ok - I just need to rest...” As my psychologist says, “people with EDs are EXCELLENT at minimising their symptoms”. It’s funny because I’ve literally said the same thing. Laying splat on the floor after fainting a few seconds after standing up and they’re calling paramedics and shit and I’m just laying there, too exhausted to even move, and the words that come out of my mouth are LITERALLY, “I’m ok... I just need to rest for a little while...” 🤦‍♀️😂

    Refusing forced feeding is similar to getting a "do not resuscitate" order. Tragic as it is, people must have the right to decide, in advance and while still of sound mind, what medical treatment they do and do not want if worse comes to worst. If after 15 years of suffering, she just wants to stop fighting, that's heart-breaking but you can't really force someone like that to get better. I've been in a similar position and ultimately, I had to decide between dying and living. Nobody could have made that decision for me and have it stick.

She is high risk for refeeding syndrome and I can tell this because of her nutrient levels, weight and condition of organs. If someone is high risk for RS then they should be fed around 1500 calories at the most and via NG tube (one of the things they did get right). If she gets refeeding syndrome then she can die. They should keep feeding her 1500 cals everyday for at least a week to ensure that her obs become more stable than they are atm. They also need to do her obs every 30 mins or, if she’s extremely unstable, they should keep a constant heart monitor on her. She must be kept on strict bed rest and as she is high risk mentally, she should be on a 1:1

    As someone who was anorexic in her teens (not as severely as this, but certainly enough to get a clinical diagnosis and receive therapy) I feel like Dr. Charles was the only one who really understood her, and knew the reality of this horrendous condition. I've seen a lot of comments here along the lines of "why can't they just force-feed her..." "She's clearly not of sound mind, so the law should be allowed to override what she wants..." "They should treat her physical symptoms against her wishes, and that will change her mental state so she *wants* to be helped..." IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE. No-one ever got 'cured' of anorexia by being forced to comply with medical procedures performed on them against their wishes; at best, they might allow it to happen for just long enough to get to a point where they can be safely discharged - but then the minute they leave they'll just go straight back to their old habits again. There has to be something else, inside of their own heart, that finally flicks the switch to make them WANT to get better - and without that, all the therapy and medical intervention in the world won't 'cure' them. All those anorexics out there who DO make that breakthrough and beat the disease - you are incredibly brave and strong people, and you deserve huge credit for that. But those who don't... we'll never know their reasons for not feeling able to leave that behaviour behind. It's so desperately sad, but some demons just grip too tightly for too long, until succumbing to them completely feels like the only form of release they can hope for.

    When I became a type one diabetic in 1971 I was rushed to a Children’s Hospital in Montreal and I was in ICU because I was only hours away from dying. I was coming in and out of a coma and when I was out of the coma I was screaming about the skeleton that was going to kill me. My mom came to visit and I was screaming about it with the nurses trying to settle me down. When my mom walked into the room a he asked what was going on and they told her I was afraid of the skeleton in the bed next to me that she was going to get up and kill me.
    So my mom asked them to put a divider between my bed and her bed so I couldn’t see her anymore. She was worse than this girl. My mom said you could see every single bone in her body and they had her in a diaper and a small top.
    Once I was totally out of the comatose state, they sent me up to a normal room. Two years later, we went to the same hospital to visit my cousin who had an operation and in the elevator was the girl, Diana that I thought was a skeleton and now she was a healthy 17 year old girl. I hope that she was able to stay healthy the way I last saw her.

    She would get refeeding syndrome from having food reintroduced all at once, which could kill her.

      That's not a good thing. Ultimately her choice is what matters. You don't take that away from her when it comes to her body because that is disrespectful and it will drive her insane. She will ruin herself in the process of trying hard to get back the control she had taken from her. So no matter how much passion you have for a person, try not to act like with the right reasoning, your opinions are more important than hers, when it comes to her body.

At that weight the patient does not have the capacity to make decisions, so drastic measures have to be taken in order to preserve life. By your reasoning we should also just let suicidal people die, and not try to save them. Whilst she may feel that death is the best option now, with weight restoration and the right therapy life can improve for her. So yes the in that state the opinion of a medical proffesional is more important than hers, and its not a matter of respect.

      Though luck for the doctor. Doctor is a service profession like any other service professional like lawyer, architect whatever. If someone does not want help and there is no legal way to force treatment respect their wishes. It is not all about saving lives. It is about getting a patient the outcome they want. Some patients want to live as long as possible, some want to give up and only have painkillers and comfort care, some patients want to desperately get pregnant and have IVF etc, some patients want to be sterilised at 22, some people want to keep a pregnancy at all costs others want an abortion. As a doctor one should work to get the patient the best possible outcome for the patient.

    This just goes to show how catastrophic anorexia can be. It's endless counting of calories in/out, rituals and straight up delusions. I was still a minor so I was kept barely conscious enough to use the bathroom and try and eat and drink, almost 3 weeks on sedatives because I was just enraged and a danger to myself and others. I remember telling the nurse in the ED I'd rather die than gain weight (after a cardiac event). The dark horrible side of this disease is brutal, I have several friends who have died in their late teens-barely 20ies.

Gave the smaller size baguettes, feed those to the fish. Unfortunately, in the end she was passed away, while she was thousands miles from home. She was from France and the hotel I worked is in Bali. Saw her once, seeing the kitchen demo, and her eyes are blank. It felt like the notion of food is something allergic, something strange, or even non existent.
