A baby is born weighing less than one pound in the 23rd week of life. The child will and has required extensive (and expensive) medical care and treatments. The mother is on public assistance (welfare) and the care is being paid for by Medicaid. The child has gone from one crisis to another. The doctors want to stop treating the infant as they believe that she will be severely brain damaged in the end and will most likely not survive. They want to turn off her respirator. They say that it is a waste of public funds to help her. The mother wants all possible treatment. You are the hospital administrator. Should you agree? Resolve the issue using the 7 step decision making model.
