A doctor thinks back to a story where he successfully resuscitated an 89-year old. This left a lasting impression:
From that point on, I no longer considered a patient’s age as a determinant of the care they should receive.
A great story to be sure, but consider that happy endings like these are a statistical rarity.
Better to focus on patients having an appropriate advance directive than to highlight a successful long shot.
