Subject: Critically ill patient and want of referral

Dear Sir,

Many times there is a difficult situation when the relatives of a

critically ill patient want the patient to be referred or to take the

patient to another center against medical advice. It can happen in even

the adequate facilities are available to manage the patient and gravity

of the situation is also explained to the relatives. Also it is also

explained that the transfer of the unstable patient may be risky.

Are there any guidelines in such a situation.

Regards

Dr Amit Agrawal
