This question is like a tug-of-war between the patient and the doc. Gotta find the right balance - maybe the doc can convince the patient with some top-notch negotiation skills?

Asking the family to confirm the will? Sounds like a good idea, but if my family had to make decisions for me, I'd be in trouble. They can barely decide what to have for dinner.

Deceiving the patient? That's like trying to sneak broccoli into a kid's mac and cheese - it's just not cool.

Respecting the patient's will is the way to go. I mean, this isn't a restaurant where you can just override the customer's order, right?

Crushing chest pain? Yikes, that's no picnic! But forcing meds on the guy? That's like trying to give a cat a bath - it ain't gonna end well.
