Description
Sugna Divakar Prabhu and co-authors wrote a 2026 case report on food and water given by tube to a patient who could not wake up. A woman aged 61 had a heart stop in Qatar in late 2024 and was left in a deep, lasting coma. Her family asked for the tube feeds to stop, but staff there said no, since she had left no clear note of her wishes.
She was flown back to a hospital in the United Kingdom, where rules from 2018 set a clear path for such choices. The team there sought more views and stopped the feeds. The report sets the two rule sets side by side and shows how place can change what care is allowed.
