These policies are not and should not be open to interpretation and they should be followed to the letter.
             The lack of communication is playing a role in this problem as well. Well-structured communication would essentially end any misunderstandings that the entire hospital has.

             As far as the ethical issues are concerned, we have patients that are refusing medical treatments and staff who are refusing to provide certain services. We even have doctors that have various interpretations of the Hippocratic oath based on ethical reasons.
