Ethical, Legal, and Medical Challenges When a Patient Refuses a Transfer From Rehabilitation to Acute Medical Services

I have asked Preya S. Tarsney, JD, to guest edit this Ethical/Legal column on a specific type of informed refusal in the rehabilitation context. Ms Tarsney started her legal career in litigation and health law, and then specialized in clinical medical ethics, completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago's MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. She is currently a Bioethicist in the Donnelley Ethics Program of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, a Lecturer in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and a Faculty Lecturer at the University of Chicago.
