What really happens whenever a family directs a hospital that its relative receives the full and rapid CPR response ("Code Blue") in the event of their quickly fatal cardiac or breathing arrest ?
Most the time, the medical and nursing staff will do their damnest to bring that patient back from the imminent grave.
But at times, the medical and nursing staff will form a silent consensus that they will just pretend to "code blue" a patient, but will actually merely go through the motions.
This is known as "Code Slow" and it is a serious breach in medical ethics.
