I am a little taken a back. I don't support it anyway, other than as an unavoidable side effect of controlling severe pain and distress, but really - make a decision over the phone? I dislike Zoom consults as I don't really think you have a proper human interface with the patient, but discussing assisted suicide in this setting leaves me shaking my head! Can google call you and say its been mandated? That's the next step.
