Reference no: EM133408239

Case Study: Anna, a 28-year-old woman, has been diagnosed with clinical depression. Family and financial problems have forced her to rely on drugs as a means to escape reality. While driving on a highway, she had a sudden stroke leading to a vehicular accident. She was found unconscious and was rushed to the emergency room of a nearby medical facility. Her medical tests indicated high levels of cocaine and multiple organ failure due to long-term drug addiction. The assigned nurse also found a note in her shirt pocket that explained her desire to kill herself and refused any medical assistance that might be offered. Her doctor decides to treat her regardless of her demand. After a week, she was referred to an affiliate facility for a designated healthcare service payable by a federal health program. Anna's doctor then asks her relatives for additional compensation for the referral.
