In this chapter of Complex Ethics Consultations: Cases that Haunt Us, the author describes a case in which she was the community member on an ethics committee undertaking a retrospective ethics review of a case where a patient’s surrogate shifted to end-of-life care and discharge to home after being told Medicare (government insurance) would no long pay for his hospitalization. Although the consult was called on a Friday while the patient was alive, it was not reviewed by the full committee until Tuesday, by which time the patient had died.
