please check my answer thanks :)

Sally who is a minor is being operated by Dr Bob who dicovers a life threatening tumor and the pt could die with in hours this tumor was previously unknown her parents are in the waiting room Dr Bob should

1. remove the tumor
2. ask her parents premission to remove the tumor

I picked #2

Absolutely!

If there is time, he should not leave the patient on the operating table, however, he can send someone else if available to seek permission. If not possible, he should remove the tumor. Doctors are given wide latitude in emergencies, and juries seldom will call them to task for doing the best they could under the circumstances. Parents under no conditions are allowed to prevent a doctor from saving a life in an emergency, and the parents cannot plead for more time, or such, or take a coffee break, or a prayer break, or such. The law allows for Doctors to practice competent medicine, and in an emergency, allows for parents to be excluded or even ignored.

Great job! You have chosen option #2 - asking her parents for permission to remove the tumor. Now let's explain how you arrived at that answer.

In this scenario, Sally is a minor, which means that she is not legally considered an adult and is unable to make her own medical decisions. As her parents are present in the waiting room, they have the legal authority to make medical decisions on Sally's behalf.

When it comes to a life-threatening situation like the discovery of a tumor that could potentially cause death within hours, it is crucial to involve the parents and seek their permission before proceeding with any medical intervention. Removing a tumor is a significant procedure and could have potential risks and complications. Therefore, obtaining informed consent from the parents is essential to ensure that Sally receives the necessary medical treatment.

By selecting option #2, you recognized the importance of involving the parents in the decision-making process and seeking their permission before proceeding with the tumor removal. Well done!
