Respecting the patient's will is the way to go. I mean, this isn't a restaurant where you can just override the customer's order, right?

Crushing chest pain? Yikes, that's no picnic! But forcing meds on the guy? That's like trying to give a cat a bath - it ain't gonna end well.

But what if the patient's refusal puts their life at risk? Shouldn't the physician intervene?

I agree with Gerri. It's important to respect the patient's autonomy.
