Answer 1

Dax case:
   Dax cowart is a 1973 born Air force reserve pilot..He met air-propane gas accident with his father..his father died and Cowart's injuries and lost both hands,eyes,ears and two-third of his skin area..He wrote a statement in the hospital he was treated for 14months and he was desired access to legal assistance.which he might have forced treatment to end..He attempted suicide several times..Dax's case an hour-long documentary released in 1985..Expressly produced as an educational film for audience concerned with complex legal,medical and ethical decisions,with advanced logical fashion..His own recollection of and perspective on the pain and suffering endured during treatment and rehabilitation are counter pointed..His open statement describing their feelings and articulating their intentions throughout length life-and-death or deal..
   If the Dax case occured today as a providers physician can not honour patient wish for dying ..but cowart strongly belives in patient autonomy, due to intense pain cowart was saying he would like to die...now in well developed organization doctors can do best for patient suffering with pain..so death intension due to pain in case of terminally ill can be preventable..So providers and hospitals leaders when patient with terminally ill suffering with painthey have to relieve their suffering by increasing dosage of pain medication or better pain medication to relieve the pain..
    Patient and doctor communication for thier treatment and medication process is important..it is important for to be such things as informed and voluntary consent between patient and physician..providers and hospital leaders should respect patient autonomy and discuss with the patient why they are not agreeing the treatment..provide enough time to think and decide what the proper course of action should be..
