Killer Strategies

7

Your mother rings you and asks you to come round to help with a major family decision. Your maternal grandfather is 70 years old and has been diagnosed with a condition that will kill him some time in the next five years. He can have a procedure that will correct the disease and not leave him with any long-term problems, but the procedure has a 10% mortality rate. He wants to have the procedure, but your mother does not want him to. How would you help mediate this issue?

Further Questions

1. What do you say to your grandfather? 2. Your grandfather's long-standing GP advises against the procedure. 3. What discussion items would you raise with the GP? 4. How would you come to a personal decision about the situation? 5. How could you plan to reconcile these opposing views as a mediator? 6. You "Google" your grandfather's condition and information indicates a 5-year mortality of between 70% and 90%. How would you interpret this information?

Sample Question

3. What happens as an interviewer if I ask my own questions?

4. If I score an unsatisfactory in one of the checklist items, have I failed?
