The doctor for a dying Jewish man at the heart of an emotional court battle has spoken out about the case for the first time, calling for a public inquiry to help clear up the growing debate over who should decide the care of gravely ill patients.
Dr. Joel Zivot suggests in a journal article that it is wrong to give physicians the final say over whether to halt life-extending treatment of such patients, and argues that ICU doctors are in a conflict of interest, since they both try to save people and provide palliative care when they consider treatment hopeless.
"As a practising critical care physician, my ethical role is to save lives, not take them," the doctor wrote in the American Journal of Bioethics. "The struggle by patients to live should be encouraged.... We should always admire the struggle, not vilify it."
Mr. Golubchuk's adult children had fought for him to be kept alive as long as possible, citing in part his orthodox Jewish beliefs, while the original Grace doctors said he was so deathly ill, it was actually cruel to extend treatment.
About the same time, the province's medical regulator issued a statement saying that doctors should have the last word when such disagreements cannot be resolved.
