I believe crafting the legislation to require two independent medical opinions is important. It would hopefully help to mitigate this and provide greater...“comfort” is not the right term, but it would give us some parameters of reassurance to operate under.
As I mentioned, what happens if during the two weeks after the patient makes a request, the patient's condition deteriorates? What is the responsibility of the providers if the condition deteriorates and one is not able to assess that decision? I think obtaining greater clarity in this regard would be important.
