Directories used to determine that the patient has an incurable condition .. Some types of treatment-resistant leukemia end in death within four to six months

Doctors report that the condition is not curable for what is known as medically similar cases. They also rely on their personal experiences in this field. For example, some resistant cancer cells end up dying within four to six months. The doctor therefore determines that the patient's condition is expected to have a similar fate.
It is clear that such an opinion is based on the assumption of certainty and it is impossible to confirm it in a certain manner. Accordingly, such estimates may be subject to error.
In order to reduce the possibility of this error, the fatwa issued by the Standing Committee for Scientific Research and Ifta issued on 3/6/1409 e required that the case of non-recoverable three doctors competent specialists. This condition was adopted by a number of major hospitals, including the internal administrative policy of King Fahad National Guard Hospital on 5/9/1420 AH, as well as the guide for health practitioners on the ethics of the medical profession issued by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties.
Although the requirement of a three-consultant agreement reduces the chances of a false expectation of incurable cases, it does not deny it at all.
