摘要

A 56-year-old female presents to the emergency department after an intentional overdose of a large number oflong-acting verapamil tablets. She says she wants to dieand has come to the emergency department because shedoesn’t want to die alone. She is bradycardic at 40 BPM,hypotensive at 100/60 mm Hg, and has a first-degreeatrioventricular block on her electrocardiogram; findingsare consistent with her stated ingestion. She says she doesnot want treatment for her ingestion. She presents anadvance directive (AD) stating that she has chronic painsecondary to multiple endocrine tumors, and that shedoes not want life-sustaining treatments (such as intubation, ventilation, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation) underany circumstances. The document is signed, dated withinthe last 4 weeks, and notarized. Her level of consciousnessdecreases, and the treating team is unsure of theirethical and legal responsibilities in the face of her statedwishes and her AD.
