so some of the ethics questions on Uworld have been extremely frustrating in regards to when you can terminate care, specifically regarding the Jehavoah's question and an old man with multiple comorbidities and his wife says DNR and u trust her...

anyways, in the explanation for one, it says in a non-emergent setting, if you need to settle something, go to the eticss committee, but from everything i know inside the answer for these questions is to never punt... always deal with the question, anyone whose taken the real deal have any experience with a question that made it seem hypothetically 'okay' to get a court order/ethics commitee/etc.?

i have a terrible feeling that come test day i'm going to realllllly think that the best choice is to get a court order or judge or ethics committee... ive read half of HY behavioral, not sure if this is covered somewhere in there.
appreciate any thoughts..
