As seen in this case study, TM was listed as a full code and no GOC conversation was had between the physicians and the patient until the day of his discharge to home. This led to an unnecessary swallowing study in which the patient needed to be uncomfortably scoped. Due to the lack of GOC conversation the patient also chose to go home with general nursing services instead of end-of-life (EOL) hospice support. In the inpatient medical oncology floors of a large teaching hospital like this one, most patients are covered by rotating interns and residents that are not comfortable having GOC conversations with patients and leave it up to the primary physician to come and discuss.
