You have responded to a physician's office for a terminal cancer patient in cardiac arrest. The physician says, "This is a chemical code only. Just give the meds, but don't intubate or do CPR." Which of the following should you do?
A) Because this is the patient's personal physician, you must comply with her orders.
B) Tell the physician that because she called for an ambulance, you are bound to treat the patient according to the medical direction for the EMS service. If the physician would like you to do something different, she must speak with your medical control physician, accompany you to the hospital, and take complete responsibility for patient care.
C) Tell the physician you cannot comply with her orders under any circumstances and that you are going to be filing a report with the state medical licensing board about her negligence in this case.
D) Comply with her orders on the scene to avoid a confrontation, but initiate appropriate care once you are in the back of the ambulance.
