If you can't attain consent because the patient isn't competent, the process follows: - check logged advanced directives - ask family members (including lasting power of attorney if patient has one) - use independent mental capacity advocate - refer case to court of protection
Amazing video but quick additional point: For the kidney scenario I would agree with your choice but i feel like it could also be mentioned prior that giving the kidney to the 60 yr old teacher, who has 6 days to live, may also allow the others to live as there's a chance another kidney can be attained within their time periods, maybe from another hospital etc

I personally would say that medicine is a caring profession and that in order to do your job as a doctor, in one aspect, doctors have to serve the public, and in the UK that means in most cases working for the NHS. The second point would be that the an important thing when trying to sort out the crisis happening in the NHS is for doctors to be involved and try to drive the change in whatever way possible as they are one of the groups that know about the system the best, along with nurses etc. To conclude, I think that the NHS at its core has important values to practice medicine by and is in theory a great model for maintaining equity in medicine and this would be important to me in practicing medicine. However, no-one can go into a career in the NHS without realising that huge change is necessary and that the job is perhaps made harder because of the failings in the NHS.
This MMI is to test students who want to enter Medicine right? Not existing medical students. Why does it seem like all the answers involving a lot of knowledge in the medical field and medical ethics and NHS etc? I thought this kind of prior knowledge are not required?
