23, suggesting possible treatment option for the condition with the patient. For every patient needs to know about the different treatment option, because some may not aware of the diseases and treatment, so it is the responsibility to make them aware about the treatment option which is affordable by them. Rehabilitation activities starts when the patient conditions became stabilized, before that we should explain about different treatment options. They may aware about the medical conditions so noneed to counsel them about the conditions.

24, I cannot pay for this hospitalization, it would be too expensive for me to receive the treatment.

This is one of the reason patient right to refuse treatment. We might also consider refusing treatment if you have been diagnosed with a medical problem that requires very expensive treatment. You may prefer not to spend so much money. Patients make this decision when they believe treatment is beyond their means. They decide to forgo treatment instead of draining their bank accounts.

Those who live in a country with a for-profit healthcare system may be forced to choose between their financial health and their physical health. It we can't force them to do the treatment.
