I Love my brick

You are a doctor at a top hospital. You have six gravely ill patients, five of whom are in urgent need of organ transplants. You can’t help them, though, because there are no available organs that can be used to save their lives. The sixth patient, however, will die without a particular medicine. If s/he dies, you will be able to save the other five patients by using the organs of patient 6, who is an organ donor. What do you do?

I would treat the 6th patient. I think that contradicts what I said in one of the other dilemmas where I think I said I'd let someone die to save more people, but I think if I was a doctor I would feel like I have to treat people where I can. Also, imagine if you let the 6th person die in order to use their organs and then someone else died whose organs could also be used, this person will have died needlessly at your hands. So with this scenario there is still hope for the other 5 even if you treat the 6th person.

if the 6th patient has a functioning version of the organs required, then rotate his organs with each patient, rotating back and forward until the organs become available for permanent transplant.

The doctor has to treat patient 6 as he/she swore an oath to do so.

Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

No dilemma here, of course you would treat patient number 6 and carry on hoping for organs for the rest through natural deaths of others.
You can't go around killing someone so that others can benefit. |

Take the 6th patient's organs and sell em on the black market.
I'd keep the penis and post it to Mokka though. |

It's not logical that the 6th patient would be a match for all the other patients so you could probably only save one.

what if number 6 was a relative of yours and you found out that they could have been saved but the Doctor decided not to help them because he wanted to take their organs

Re: the OP...ahem
As A doctor...I would have taken the oath to do no harm...and I would be harming the sixth patient to save the first 5...leaving me vulnerable to a law suit where I will lose my license to practice medicine...making me unable to pay off my student loans for the 8+ years of education it took to become a doctor... left living on the streets where I will catch an illness perfectly curable by a medication...but I won't have health care so I will die in a karma like similar situation to patient six... That is not a spiral I am willing to go down |
