You have an advanced illness with a very poor prognosis (less than 3 months if the disease follows its usual course). You are in the hospital in a coma with a poor likelihood of recovery when you develop a small bowel obstruction.
Goals of your care. Would you want:
a) All possible intervention to prolong life
b) Full intervention, but with early reassessment
c) Interventions that may help but that are not too invasive, or
d) Noninvasive comfort care only?
