[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2091753, member: 468714"] Thank you [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER]. Without psychiatric report/assessment it is unclear to me whether the patient had requisite capacity to refuse treatment and to fully appreciate her situation (if say in a state of suicidal depression ) if that were the case. And the paediatricians may not have felt skilled enough to have made that assessment. I wonder how many people feel like dying during evolving stages of DKA anyway?? In any case as you say it was because of the the imminent emergency that the court case was convened and one is glad that her life has been preserved. [/QUOTE]
