So freedom to say no. And then if you have those four things, the fifth element is your considered authorization of an informed consent. And if you want to say no, informed refusal.

And we do have trust in our doctors and it would be a shame if that disappeared, right? That element of public trust. But there's also a lot being written on end of life treatment and how aggressive it can be. But it's really difficult. Again, it's an ideal that can never be fully attained in medicine and elsewhere.

I think if people want to have that conversation and then even as I told Grande talks about, people prefer different types of care, right? Somebody wants the paternalistic advice. Just tell me what to do and I'll follow it. Other people want more of a guided, informed, shared decision making and the doctor to be more of a coach.

Yeah, some people find that really hard.

So true yes is consent. So having those five elements there would be your true yes. Or a true no is the same. The informed refusal is just having those five elements. But sometimes you have those five factors there, but you decide to actually do what I call conscious compliance. So you consciously comply because the costs might be too big or this is not the right time to do it.

And because, as you said, it's exhausting. So you need to choose, is this situation going against my values? Otherwise we'd be defying every day. We wouldn't get anything done. And we need to really choose what situations are going against our values that this is worth me speaking up and saying something about.

I interviewed a few of my students that have been in the military, which was really fascinating to hear their stories. And in fact, one of the first ones, and I remember it really well because we were speaking on Zoom on a Sunday afternoon. I was calling Matthew. He told me about when he went into the military and he did it because he grew up with 9-11 sort of seared into his memory.

And he wanted to prove that he's an American, he's a patriot, and he was deployed to Iraq. And his best friend got killed in the first few months. And there was an incident where they were on some nighttime mission and he's like, nothing usually happens at nighttime. But there was this flash and then a grenade going off that was too close for comfort. And they immediately started opening fire.
