| Abstract | This case commentary discussed on the ethico-legal dilemmas in which there is disagreement between a family member and the acute medical team, and probably disagreement among family members about end of life decisions. While the acute medical team recommended palliative care in their advance care planning (ACP) for an advanced heart failure patient whose bradycardia and rapidly deteriorating renal function were considered not benefiting from pacemaker implantation and dialysis by the cardiologist and renal physician, the daughter of the patient demanded for such interventional procedures. |
