“I want to go when I want to go,” Einstein told his doctors. “It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share; it is time to go.” This is easier said and done from a medical perspective, especially during medical emergencies. “Do Not Resuscitate” orders, advanced directives or so-called “living wills”, futile medical treatment, palliative care and euthanasia affect the difficult decisions medical professional must take under pressure. Join Dr Jaco Slabbert, head of Emergency Medicine Stellenbosch Mediclinic, and Dr Marietjie Botes, Health Law expert (UKZN) for an evening where we shall discuss the medical, ethical, legal, and social implications of these dilemmas in the context of emergency medicine using comics over a glass of wine and a hearty meal at DE VIER Restaurant, Stellenbosch on 26 September 2024, 18:00. 

Your ticket gets you:

• in the door, one main meal, and one glass of wine
• insights by Dr Jaco Slabbert into real life emergency medicine experiences
• explanation of the legal and ethical aspects by Dr Marietjie Botes using a comic

Comic posters at R180-00 will be for sale at the venue (card payments accepted).
