"No escalation of treatment"

This is the tone-deaf letter I received from the hospital, after reviewing my father's chart and discovering his end-of-life treatment plan was disregarded by this doctor.

First and foremost, the duration of my father's remaining time is  irrelevant.

Who do you think you are to make this decision?

How dare you make this critical decision behind my father's back and the back of our entire family?
HOW DARE YOU.

Altering someone's end-of-life wishes constitutes a grave violation of their autonomy and medical ethics.
