Having hope that a terminally ill patient may recover is not an
unfamiliar sight in intensive care units across the globe.
However, cultural heritage may make it even tougher. This
fictional case study, which is a collection of years of experience,
addresses decision-making within the Chinese Immigrant
culture and focusses on how this may influence the care team.
A new initiative, the Goals of Care (GOC) team, is also
described.
