Written scenario · Equity, Ethics
Three ways to choose
You are the community volunteer on a hospital's patient advisory council.
The hospital will receive a very small supply of an expensive new treatment for a rare, life-threatening condition, and far more families are hoping for it than there are doses. The hospital has asked the council which way of sharing it seems fairest to the community: first come, first served; a random lottery; or priority for the patients doctors expect to gain the most. Each option leaves some families without it. Dylan, a father whose daughter is on the list, will be in the room when you speak.
The two questions
- 1Which approach would you recommend, and why?
- 2Describe a time you had to share something limited among people who all had a real need for it. How did you decide?
