摘要

As part of an online colloquium organised by Gesundheit Österreich GmbH (GÖG) in November 2024, anaesthetist, intensive care physician, palliative care specialist and medical ethicist Univ. Prof. Dr. Barbara Friesenecker and lawyer Dr. Michael Halmich discussed the myths of modern medicine with Dr. Eva Potura (GÖG). It was emphasised that, in view of great feasibility, difficult decisions should be based strictly on an individual therapy goal on the one hand and on the wishes and values of sick people on the other, in order to avoid overtreatment and its negative consequences for everyone. Knowledge of ethics and law forms an important basis for decision-making in order to provide each individual patient with the best possible medical care in the context of complex medical issues. At the end of life in the case of advanced illness, this means a timely change in the therapeutic goal from cure to palliation with the aim of allowing dying, not prolonging suffering and not delaying death, which would neither be ethically required nor legally permitted.
