Case Situation:
A 16 year old young man was diagnosed with Hodgins Disease and underwent a round of chemotherapy which left him weak and sick. He refused further chemo treatment.
He and his parents traveled to Mexico for an herbal treatment called Hoxsey. The U.S. oncologists sought a court order to force him to have the chemo treatments. The young man won the case. The settlement requires him to report his progress to the oncologists every three months. He must also see a radiation oncologist who also practices alternative medicine.
The issue is: what if he had lost the case and presented to the treatment center for forced chemo treatments. If you were the nurse who had to administer the treatment to a 16 year old boy against his will, would you do it?
