Sanford 'shines' with Christmas spirit
Christmas tree display to remain up through Jan. 2
At the end of a tough year, Sanford residents still filled the village streets with holiday lights and cheer on Friday.
The Sanford Shines event kicked off Friday night as locals enjoyed food, live music from the Mid Michigan Brass Band and the light of dozens of Christmas trees in Downtown Sanford.
The centerpiece of the event was the Lit Tree Memorial, which features more than 60 decorated trees in the area south of the rail trail. The full display will remain up through Jan. 2, 2021.
Event organizer Anna Merillat of Sanford helped develop the idea for a Christmas light show after multiple conversations with family members and village residents.
Vehicles arriving for the drive-thru event were lined up for a mile down Saginaw Road. Before Santa and Mrs. Claus lit the Community Tree, located at the corner of Saginaw Road and Cedar Street, Sanford village president Dolores Porte thanked her community for sticking together and supporting each other throughout a year that saw Sanford hit by both a pandemic and the mid-Michigan dam failures in May.
"We would have never made it this far without the community coming together like they have," Porte said. "I have never felt so loved in a community as I have through this rebuild and clean-up."
State representative Annette Glenn was also at the ceremony, where she presented Porte with a tribute commending her for her leadership. The tribute was signed by Glenn herself, as well as Senator Jim Stamas, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist.
"We are all blessed to work alongside (Porte) as we continue to rebuild," Glenn said.
Though Porte said she was only expecting a few trees to be provided for the Lit Tree Memorial, the village received more than 62.
The fact that the Sanford community was still able to come together after a year were they battled devastating flooding and COVID-19 did not surprise 23-year-old Jonas Leal, who journeyed downtown Friday to enjoy the Christmas festivities.
"I could tell as soon as the flood happened just how strong and close everybody is here," Leal said. "I knew an event like (Sanford Shines) would definitely bring everybody out."
Melissa Kershner, 47, felt the same about her fellow Sanford residents.
"I think it's a wonderful event -- we've lost so much after the floods, so seeing this wonderful community come together is awesome," Kershner said.
The event was free, though donations are encouraged to benefit The Village of Sanford Recovery Project Fund.

The Value of Hiring Interns
As a college student at a top engineering school who has also been exposed to the manufacturing industry for most of my life—my father Todd is the owner of Commercial Tool & Die (Comstock Park, MI) and the new president of the American Mold Builder’s Association (AMBA)—I see a disconnect between schools like Purdue and the small businesses that support a vast percentage of American Manufacturing.
As a college student at a top engineering school who has also been exposed to the manufacturing industry for most of my life—my father Todd is the president of Commercial Tool & Die (Comstock Park, MI) and the new president of the American Mold Builder’s Association (AMBA)—I see a disconnect between schools like Purdue and the small businesses that support a vast percentage of American Manufacturing. It is astonishing how little my fellow students know about where their degrees will land them. Also, it is difficult for them to attain meaningful part-time or summer employment in an industry that is struggling to find qualified employees.
On-the-job training is not something that schools such as MIT or Harvard are going to teach, and co-op programs with large universities are often limited to companies such as John Deere, Caterpillar, GE, etc. How are the 80 percent of businesses that are classified as “small” supposed to compete with these large corporations when it comes to snatching up qualified college graduates?
Currently, there are a few options for small businesses to consider when acquiring trained employees. One of these options is to hire an employee and offer them training, which can be done in-house through an apprenticeship program, or through an online or external resource.
Another option that is gaining popularity among employers and college students is the concept of interning. Interns have been stereotyped as being coffee-getters and copy makers in the past, but in a modern manufacturing environment with motivated employers and interns, an internship can prove to be one of the most beneficial experiences of one’s college career—both for the company and the student. Unfortunately for college students, these opportunities can be few and far between, and even more difficult to track down if the student has no prior connections within the industry.
What do small businesses have to lose by becoming involved in summer internship programs? Paid internships will undoubtedly produce a higher and more desirable caliber of applicants; but in most cases, whatever payment terms are settled upon, the company can use the help around the facility and, at the very least, an internship/recruitment/training program looks fantastic for a company’s profile and image. If a company settles on an unpaid internship, the company gets a free employee and the student has something to add to his/her resume.
Purdue University has one of the largest internship recruitment fairs in the nation, and yet only 22 percent of students at the school are able to get a position. With a greater number of people going to college and getting a degree, students must set themselves apart from the crowd with a solid resume and work experience in order to become more desirable to companies immediately after college. Internships and co-ops now are the key to finding gainful employment in the future—especially for small businesses. By offering an internship or co-op, not only can you provide American Manufacturing with a resource it so desperately needs right now, you have the opportunity to give a young, motivated student the hands-on experience that is oftentimes lost in the modern educational system.

Lucknow: Milind Prabhat, son of poet and lyricist Gopaldas Neeraj, has said that the demise of his father has left a huge void in his life.
He said, “It’s very difficult to rule for so long on Kavi Sammelans. His death has left a huge void in my life, but he will be remembered by everyone. It’s a loss not only for me but also for the society and the nation.”
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also condoled the death of the noted poet and lyricist.
“Saddened by the demise of noted poet and lyricist Shri Gopaldas ‘Neeraj.’ Shri Neeraj’s unique style connected him with people from all walks of life, across generations. His works are unforgettable gems, which will live on and inspire many. Condolences to his admirers,” he had tweeted.
Gopaldas Saxena was an Indian poet and author of Hindi literature.He was also part of the Hindi Kavi Sammelan.
‘Neeraj’ is known for his works in collaboration with noted music directors like S.D. Burman and Shankar-Jaikishan.
The 93-year-old breathed his last on Thursday at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi. (ANI)


Bond percolation with attenuation in high dimensional Voronǒ tilings
Let P be the set of points in a realization of a uniform Poisson process in Rn. The set P determines a Voronǒ tiling of Rn. Construct an infinite graph G with vertex set P and edges joining vertices when the corresponding Voronǒ cells share a (n-1)-dimensional boundary face. We consider bond percolation models on G obtained by declaring each edge xy of G open independently with probability p(∥x - y∥), depending only on the Euclidean distance ∥x - y∥ between the vertices. We give some sufficient conditions on p(t) that ensures that an infinite connected component (i.e., percolation) occurs, or does not occur. In particular, we show that for p(t) = p is a constant, there is a phase transition at a critical probability p = pc(n), where 2-n(5n logn)-1 ≤ pc(n) ≤ C2-n√nlogn. We also show that if p(t) = e-λt then there is a phase transition at a critical parameter λ = λc(n), where λc(n) = (loge 2 + o(1))n/2rn, where rn is the radius of the n-dimensional sphere that, on average, contains a single point of P. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thawing a condensate pipe...
Whilst the cold weather in the South West persists, we've had a lot of calls about frozen condensate pipes.
Freezing cold weather can cause your boiler condensate pipe to freeze, which may prevent your boiler from functioning.
You'll know if your condensate pipe is frozen if it makes unusual noises you wouldn't hear normally.

This card was for an embossing challenge.
The Real Rust cardstock and the piece of Outlaw designer paper have been embossed in copper. The background stamp I used for this was Sanded, the ink Versamark. Best Wishes is also embossed in copper.
Hemp twine has been twisted and knotted before being stuck down with glue dots.
A star chip board accent was made by punching 3 plain stars from card stock, gluing together, then punching and gluing a piece from the Outlaw paper. Once dry, a hole was punched with the crop-a-dile to insert a pewter jumbo brad. A star was punched out of the Real Rust CS to reveal the underlying Choc Chip. The chipboard star was stuck on with dimensionals off set over the punched out star.

St Michael's Catholic Church
This magnificent church was designed by German architect Pepieruch in a Gothic and Roman style. It was built in 1934 and features two 60-metre high bell towers at the front which contain four large bronze bells. During the Cultural Revolution, the church was seriously damaged and was re-opened after many years of repair in April 1981.
Shandong province has a long, rich history (before the First Empire it was the state of Qi; it was also the birthplace of Confucius,) but Qingdao, with a population of 6.6 million, is almost a century old and surprisingly European. A picturesque city surrounded on three sides by the Yellow Sea, it was a German possession for 16 years after 1898, and still features startling examples of Bavarian style architecture, particularly the railway station, the twin-spired Catholic Church and the former German Governor's residence. Another colonial legacy is the famous brewery, which produces beer labelled with the city's former name, Tsingtao. Qingdao's visitor attractions include six sandy beaches and some excellent museums. The weather is generally mild with four distinct seasons, the most pleasant being spring and autumn.
Only about 30km east of the city, this spectacular range is well within day-trip distance. Many organized tours are available. climbing the 1,113-meter main peak requires some stamina, but the views of Qingdao and the surrounding countryside from the top are more than memorable.
Established at the turn of the century, the brewery is open to visitors and regular tours take place. Through several other beers are sold in China, Tsingtao takes up by far the largest portion of the market, and it is well-known and appreciated throughout the world for its crisp flavour.
Though Qingdao weather does not permit ocean swimmimg all year round, the warmer months are perfect for sunning and splashing at any of half a dozen excellent city beaches, located along the southeastern coast. All the beaches have golden sand, refreshment outlets and changing facilities.
Qingdao Art Museum
Originally built by wealthy Qingdao merchants as a welfare institution for the city's poor, this fine building now houses a superb and extensive collection of Yuan, Ming and Wing Dynasty paintings, and an archaeological exhibit illustrating Shandong's colourful history.
Huilan (Rebounding Wave) Pavilion
This centrally-sited showcase is a landmark on the city's harbourfront, located right at the end of prominent Zhangqiao Pier. Within, two floors of exhibition space display paintings, carvings and other examples of contemporary Shandong arts and crafts, much of it destined for export.
Lu Xun Park
One of the most popular gathering spots for Qingdao residents, this restful oasis in the city is named for on of the most famous authors of modern China. Lovely winding pathways lead through botanical gardens, and there's a marine products museum displaying rare and protected marine species.
This operation is at the leading edge of China's plam to become a wine-producing country. Established in 1986, it produces the only varietal vintage wine in the country, and the only wine to win medals in European competitions. Free tours, tastings (and transport, for groups)are available.
The Germans built a lighthouse on this tiny island in 1900, and it was a restricted military area until 1987. These days it's open to visitors, and tours include the lighthouse as well as botanical gardens that feature the rare Qingdao White Lily, which grows only in southern Shandong.

From Early Kansas history, ancient peoples roamed the area hunting buffalo as Spain claimed the area in the 1500’s. No settlements have been discovered. The Spanish traded the area to the French in 1811 and President Thomas Jefferson of Monticello, Virginia negotiated the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
1825 The Kanza Indians were removed from the area by the Government and sent to a reservation to the West.
1825 -1839 Shawnee Indians arrived from Ohio and Missouri. Many settled in the Monticello area.
1828 Frederick Chouteau (grandson of a co-founder of St. Louis) established a trading post and ferry near Mill Creek.
1836 A saw and grist mill was built for the Shawnee Indians on Mill Creek thus giving the creek its name.
1850s Return to Top
1854 Kansas becomes a territory. A treaty with the Shawnee Indians gave each Shawnee 200 acres. All unclaimed land was left open to pioneer settlers.
Prior to becoming a town, Monticello was a stage coach stop in the mid 1800’s. It was a stopping point about midway between Lawrence and Westport. The town of Monticello was founded on 160 acres on June 19, 1857. There were speeches where a banner with the motto “Monticello and the Union” was presented to the Town Company and dancing took place in the town square. Monticello was located at the crossroads of the Territorial Road No. 5 and the Midland Trail. At that time there were no railroads in the area. Steamboats routinely churned the waters of the mighty Kaw (Kansas) River, stopping at the Chouteau Ferry Crossing.
The township recorded a lynching of a horse thief in 1857. We don’t know where he was buried, but Monticello has laid people to rest at the following cemeteries Bullock; King / Wilder / Boles; Monticello at 73rd Terrace East of Monticello Road; Murphy; Shawnee Mission Memorial Garden on 75th west of K-7; Union at 75th and Gleason.
Monticello elected James Butler Hickok as a town constable in 1858. It was his first job in the law enforcement business before going on to become the famous “Wild Bill” Hickok. He staked a claim to 160 acres now located at 83rd and Clare Road. Hickok left Monticello late in 1859.
Early Monticello survived a destructive tornado in 1859, fire and a grasshopper plague around 1859.
St. Louis, Lawrence & Denver R.R. in Johnson County

1869 Town of Zarah platted at present day 69th and Martindale.
1870s Return to Top

It by-passed Monticello to the east while passing through Olathe, and 3 other township towns, ending the town’s hope to become the county seat.
Frisbie was a station 3/4 miles west of Wilder on 47th. Chouteau station was at 45th and Theden; Craig station was 90th and Woodland.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been pushing aggressively to boost economic ties with Asia and find new markets for Canada’s energy products, but are Canadians on board?
Not as much as a year ago, according to a new poll for a think-tank that focuses on Canadian-Asian relations.
That could make it harder for Mr. Harper to back Enbridge proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project–which envisions sending oil from Alberta to a port in British Columbia for shipping to Asian markets–or to sell the merits of boosting ties with China or forging free-trade deals with Asian nations.
Half of those surveyed in the annual poll for the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada said Canada would benefit from more Asian investment, but that’s down 7 points from last year. Furthermore, there was an 8-point drop in the share of respondents who feel a sense of urgency to take advantage of Asian appetite for energy resources. Indeed, there was a 6-point increase in the number who said Canada should focus on its energy ties with the U.S.
There was also less support for Ottawa to enter into free-trade agreements with Japan or China. In fact, there were three times as many Canadians who viewed China unfavorably as those who had favorable views, even though almost half of those surveyed saw China as the most important Asian country for Canada’s prosperity.
Why are Canadians increasingly uneasy or conflicted about engaging with Asia? According to Eva Busza, a vice-president of the think tank, until recently Canada hasn’t needed to make much effort to benefit from Asia’s growth. China’s demand for commodities saved Canada when demand from the U.S. was declining. She said Canada now has to do more to take advantage of new opportunities in Asia, including through investments and trade deals.
“This requires much more of a commitment, it requires some risk taking, and it requires effort. Canadians are nervous on all three dimensions,” because of the distance and unfamiliarity with the “rules of the game” in Asia, Dr. Busza told Canada Real Time.

Deputy Speaker calls for early approval of economic amendments to Constitution
It would be better to pass pending economic reform measures instead of pushing for Charter Change (Cha-Cha), the Trade and Industry Secretary said on Friday, citing the limited time available to amend the 1987 Constitution.
The House of Representatives is currently conducting preliminary hearings on Resolution of Both Houses No. 2, which seeks to insert the phrase “unless otherwise provided by law” in the “restrictive” economic provisions of the Constitution. House Deputy Speaker Rufus B. Rodrigez, in a statement released Friday, said that lawmakers need to swiftly approve the amendments to the 1987 Constitution to ease foreign equity restrictions.
The 33-year-old Charter bars foreign investors from owning more than 40% of certain industries.
“We have nothing against that especially if the amendments are on economic restrictions only,” Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon M. Lopez said during a televised press briefing.
Mr. Lopez, however, said there may not be enough time for both chambers of Congress to amend the Charter. The upcoming 2022 national elections may distract lawmakers from passing the proposed measure, he said.
“It would be easy if we can (liberalize the economy) by amending some laws and not necessarily constitutional amendment,” the Trade chief said, adding that the “talks” about charter change would only generate controversy.
He urged lawmakers to focus on legislating measures reforming the country’s economic policies “in the last few months of the current administration.”
Meanwhile, House Deputy Speaker Rufus B. Rodrigez said lawmakers have to act quickly to amend the 1987 Constitution. “Considering the tight timeline, I call for an early approval of the amendments to these economic provisions by the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments… so that this can be sent to the plenary of the House of Representatives,” he said.
Members of the lower house first convened a “Constituent Assembly” during a committee hearing on Wednesday to discuss the proposed changes on the Constitution, which will lift current restrictions on foreign ownership. Mr. Rodriguez said deliberations made by the congressmen are only “preparatory and recommendatory” to prepare for the plenary of the lower house. The House of Representatives reopens sessions next week.
“The Constituent Assembly is solely lodged with the plenary session of all members of the House of Representatives acting as a Constituent Assembly,” he said.
Congressmen assured that only economic provisions will be revised and not the political provisions, attempting to allay fears that this might signal a push for President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s longtime campaign to change the form of government to Federalism.
Opposition lawmakers earlier said their colleagues might also use Cha-Cha to extend the terms of politicians.
House Speaker Lord Allan Jay Q. Velasco earlier this week emphasized the need for revisions to the charter’s economic provisions to improve the investment climate of the Philippines, whose economy fell significantly due to a strict lockdown imposed earlier last year. The country has gradually reopened its economy since the strict lockdowns of early 2020 which were done in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. — Kyle Aristophere T. Atienza and Gillian M. Cortez

International comparison of physicians’ attitudes toward refusal of treatment by patients with anorexia nervosa: a case-based vignette study
Journal of Eating Disorders volume 10, Article number: 86 (2022)
This study investigated the attitudes of physicians in Japan, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US) toward refusal of treatment for anorexia nervosa.
A questionnaire survey was administered to physicians treating patients with eating disorder (Japan, n = 55; UK, n = 84; US, n = 82) to evaluate their treatment strategies for fictitious cases of refusal of treatment for anorexia nervosa.
For acute patients, 53 (96.3%) physicians in Japan, 65 (77.4%) in the UK, and 54 (65.9%) in the US chose compulsory treatment if the patient’s family requested treatment, while 46 (83.6%) physicians in Japan, 53 (63.1%) in the UK, and 47 (57.3%) in the US chose compulsory treatment if the family left the decision to the patient. For severe and enduring anorexia nervosa, 53 (96.3%) physicians in Japan, 62 (73.8%) in the UK, and 57 (69.5%) in the US chose compulsory treatment if the patient’s family requested treatment, while 38 (69.1%) physicians in Japan, 56 (66.7%) in the UK, and 55 (67.1%) in the US chose compulsory treatment if the family left the decision to the patient.
Physicians in all three countries tended to choose compulsory treatment irrespective of disease duration or whether the patient’s family requested treatment or not. This may indicate that medical practitioners value the ethical obligation of beneficence, giving priority to the protection of life. Attitudes toward refusal of treatment during a life crisis tend to vary among medical professionals, particularly if the patient’s family does not request treatment.
Plain English summary
This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of physicians in Japan, the UK, and the US toward refusal of treatment for anorexia nervosa. Physicians in all three countries received an anonymous questionnaire comprising four fictitious cases for which they had to respond whether they would choose compulsory inpatient treatment or not. The study revealed that in all three countries, compulsory treatment tended to be the prevalent choice in cases of life-threatening malnutrition, regardless of the patient's age or duration of illness. Moreover, in all the three countries, treatment tended to be forced if a family member requested treatment, and this trend was particularly strong in Japan. The influence of family request was stronger for acute AN in the U.K. and the U.S., and for SE-AN in Japan.
Refusal of treatment can be a challenge for the treatment of eating disorders . Obtaining informed consent from the patient is a prerequisite for performing certain therapeutic actions, such as hospitalization or nasogastric tube feeding, and the refusal of treatment by patients with eating disorders hampers treatment initiation. Particularly, refusal of treatment by low-weight patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) who need urgent medical treatment makes the management of such cases challenging. Furthermore, compulsory treatment needed to save a patient's life regardless of the patient’s wishes entails ethical concerns. For example, if a patient refuses treatment even when it is necessary, prioritizing the protection of life would infringe the patient's self-determination. Legal disputes and ethical debates have been raised on whether coercive treatment should be administered to patients with AN who refuse treatment. . However, there are currently no guidelines or definitive opinions on the subject.
In Japan, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US), patients with mental disorders who are at risk of self-injury or other harm can be legally and forcibly hospitalized, even if they do not consent to inpatient treatment . In Japan, a system of hospitalization for medical protection allows treatment to be administered to a patient who is not in a condition to consent to treatment, even if there is no fear of self-injury or other harm; however, this is only done with the consent of the patient’s guardian . This system of hospitalization for medical protection is different from those in Western countries, which emphasize the patient's right to self-determination, as underscored by the requirement for informed consent.
The attitudes of medical professionals toward refusal of treatment by patients with AN may possibly differ between Japan, the US, and UK due to differences in cultural  and legal  backgrounds. Various opinions have been expressed on the compulsory treatment of patients with AN who refuse treatment from the perspective of law and medical ethics . However, the priorities for physicians and the attitudes they adopt when managing refusal of care by patients with life-threatening AN are unclear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of expert physicians in Japan, the UK, and the US on refusal of treatment by patients with AN.
An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was delivered by mail to 212 members of the Japanese Society for Eating Disorders, while an anonymous web-based questionnaire with similar questions created by double translation was administered to eating disorder specialists in the US and the UK. In the US, the web-based survey was conducted among physicians registered with MD.Linx (more than 415,000 doctors in total) who are members of eating disorder-related societies, such as the Academy of Eating Disorder and who practice eating disorder treatment. In the UK, the web-based survey was conducted among doctors registered with Doctors.net.uk (over 200,000 doctors in total) who are members of eating disorder-related societies, such as the British Eating Disorder Academy, and who practice eating disorder treatment. The web survey was conducted through a survey company that solicited responses until more than 80 responses were collected, assuming the maximum response rate in Japan was 40%. In both the US and the UK, three announcements encouraging cooperation in the survey were made over a six-week period.
Four fictitious vignette cases were used in the study, each comprising a combination of two different patient conditions (Case A and B) and two different reactions of the patients' families. The respondents were asked whether they would choose compulsory inpatient treatment or not (see Additional file 1). Case A is acute anorexia nervosa and Case B is severe and enduring anorexia nervosa defined by clinical severity, treatment failure or resistance, and chronicity
χ2 test was used to examine the differences in the physicians’ responses in the three countries. If the χ2 test result was significant, χ2 test or Fisher's direct method was used to analyze the differences in the responses between two countries, and Bonferroni’s correction was applied. p < 0.01 was considered statistically significant.
McNemar’s test was used to test the tendency of individual responses of physicians from each country to change between Case A and Case B and to test whether the individual responses changed depending on whether the patient’s family requested treatment or not.
All analyses were two-tailed and p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, The University of Tokyo (No. 3938-1).
General characteristics of the respondents
Fifty-five valid responses were obtained from physicians in Japan who specialize in treating eating disorders (25.9% response rate). The physicians included 21 psychosomatic physicians, 24 psychiatrists, and 10 adolescent medicine physicians. Psychosomatic physicians are trained in internal medicine with additional psychiatric-psychosomatic trainings and both psychosomatic physicians and psychiatrists mainly treat eating disorders in Japan. Most physicians had 10 to 19 years of experience, while some had more than 30 years of experience. Most physicians treated 50 to 99 patients in a year, while some treated 150 to 199 patients in a year (Table 1).
Eighty-four valid responses were obtained from physicians in the UK. All respondents were psychiatrists. Among the physicians who responded, 28.2% worked in clinics that specialized in treating eating disorders, 24.7% worked in hospitals that specialized in treating eating disorders, and 57.0% worked in other medical facilities. Most physicians had 10 to 19 years of experience, while some had 20 to 29 years of experience. Most physicians treated 20 to 49 patients for eating disorders per year, while some treated 50 to 99 per year.
Eighty-one valid responses were obtained from physicians in the US. All respondents were psychiatrists. Among the physicians who responded, 44.7% worked in clinics that specialized in treating eating disorders, 16.5% worked in hospitals that specialized in treating eating disorders, and 38.8% worked in other medical facilities. Most physicians had 10 to 19 years of experience, while some had 20 to 29 years of experience. Most physicians treated 50 to 99 patients per year, while some treated 100 to 149 patients per year.
The total number of samples from the three countries required for statistical analysis was 90, and this value was calculated by setting the difference at 40 points in accordance with previous studies , with α = 0.05 and β = 0.1 using POWER PROCEDURE of SAS.
Comparison of responses from Japan, the UK, and the US
For young patients with acute AN, 53 (96%) physicians in Japan, 65 (77%) in the UK, and 54 (66%) in the US indicated that they would choose compulsory inpatient treatment if the patient’s family requested treatment. A significant bias was present in the response rates in the three countries. Bilateral comparison showed significant differences between the responses from Japan and those from the UK (p = 0.003) and between those from Japan and those from the US (p = 1.3 × 10–4) (Table 2).
Forty-six (84%) physicians in Japan, 53 (63%) in the UK, and 47 (57%) in the US responded that they would choose compulsory inpatient treatment if the patient’s family left the decision to the patient. Additionally, a significant bias was detected in the response rates in the three countries. Bilateral comparison showed that there was a significant difference between the responses from Japan and those from the UK and between the responses from Japan and those from the US (Table 2).
For older patients with severe and enduring AN, 53 (96%) physicians in Japan, 62 (74%) in the UK, and 57 (70%) in the US indicated that they would choose compulsory inpatient treatment if the patient’s family wanted to initiate treatment. A significant bias was found in the response rates in the three countries. Bilateral comparison showed that there was a significant difference between the responses from Japan and those from the UK and between those from Japan and those from the US.
Thirty-eight (69%) physicians in Japan, 56 (66%) in the UK, and 55 (67%) in the US responded that they would choose compulsory inpatient treatment if the patient’s family left the decision to receive treatment to the patient. No significant bias was present in the response rates in the three countries.
Comparison of response trends in each country
For young patients with acute AN, no difference was found between the tendency for individual physicians in Japan to choose compulsory treatment if the patient’s family wanted to initiate treatment and the tendency for them to choose compulsory treatment if the family left the decision to the patient. However, a significant difference was detected in the propensity of physicians in the UK and in the US to choose compulsory treatment (Table 2).
For older patients with severe and enduring AN, a significant difference was revealed between the tendency for individual physicians in Japan to choose compulsory treatment if the patient’s family wanted to initiate treatment and the tendency for them to choose compulsory treatment if the family left the decision to the patient. However, no significant difference was present in the tendency for physicians in the UK and the US to choose compulsory treatment.
No significant differences were found between the choices of physicians for young and older patients if family members requested treatment or if the patient’s family members left the decision to receive treatment to the patient.
Comparison based on years of physician experience and number of case experiences
The differences in attitudes by years of experience and number of cases treated were examined among physicians in the UK and the US, where the trends were similar. No significant difference in attitude was found between physicians with more than 20 years of experience and those with less than 10 years of experience. Additionally, no significant difference in attitude was demonstrated between physicians who saw more than 100 cases per year and those who saw less than 30 cases per year (Table 3).
This study was conducted to investigate the attitudes of physicians in Japan, the UK, and the US toward refusal of treatment for AN. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an international investigation on the propensity of physicians to choose compulsory treatment in cases of refusal of treatment for eating disorders. This study revealed that in Japan, the UK, and the US, compulsory treatment tends to be the prevalent choice in cases of life-threatening malnutrition, regardless of the patient's age or duration of illness. Compulsory treatment was chosen more often when family members requested treatment than when family members left the decision to the patient. The results also indicated that the tendency to choose compulsory treatment differed significantly among physicians in all the three countries.
Refusal of treatment in life-threatening cases of malnutrition poses the ethical dilemma of whether the physician should prioritize the protection of the patient's life or the patient's right to self-determination . From the perspective of the four principles of medical ethics , it can be analyzed as an ethical issue of comparative consideration between the principle of good conduct and the principle of respect for autonomy. In the present study, physicians from Japan, the UK, and the US often chose the policy of compulsory treatment in life-threatening cases of poor nutrition, regardless of the patient's intention. The background of this attitude might be the idea of prioritizing the protection of life as the medical interest of the patient, which involves prioritizing the ethical obligation of beneficence over the ethical obligation of respect for autonomy [12,13,14].
There is no consensus on whether patients with AN are capable of making decisions regarding treatment [12, 15]. However, one reason that the duty of beneficence may take precedence over the patient's self-determination is the presumption that patients with AN who are undernourished are not in a condition to make sound decisions [16, 17]. In a situation where the patient cannot make appropriate decisions, it is common for family members to speculate on the patient's wishes on behalf of the patient. In fact, the responses in the present study indicated a greater tendency for the selection of compulsory treatment when the patient’s family wanted treatment than when they did not. This may be because the medical practitioner believes the patient is not competent enough to make sound decisions, and therefore, the physician follows the opinion of a family member who is the surrogate decision-maker. Conversely, over half of the physicians in Japan, the UK, and the US responded that they would choose compulsory treatment even if the patient’s family did not wish to initiate it. In such situations, it is probable that the medical care provider prioritized the patient’s best interest, which is protection of life, but the patient’s family did not consider the patient's best interest to be a priority . In case of the refusal of treatment by patients who are experiencing life crises, Giordano  advocated for “legitimate use of prudence, recognition of the value of life, and common sense”, p 147 and stated that “if there is a fairly good chance that the patient will thank you for rescuing her, then you should rescue her.”, p 147. It has been reported that although patients with AN may refuse treatment, they are glad to have received coercive treatment after recovery . However, this may be a strong form of paternalism .
The possibility of cognitive and affective biases in clinicians’ decision-making for patients with AN who refuse treatment cannot be ignored . For example, self-serving concerns about the criticism by their colleagues and being sued for negligence may also be a factor in their conservative decisions (especially in the US) .
In the present study, the proportion of physicians who preferred involuntary treatment was significantly higher in Japan than in the US and the UK. This may be due in part to the fact that awareness of patient self-determination occurred late in Japan  and attitudes are more paternalistic, emphasizing the ethical obligation of beneficence . The limited awareness of self-determination in Japan may be closely linked to Japanese culture, which is more family-centered than the more individualistic British and American cultures , and this may be another reason why the choice of compulsory treatment is prevalent in Japan, particularly if the patient’s family members request treatment. Moreover, Japanese law makes it easier to provide inpatient treatment when a patient refuses treatment despite having life-threatening malnutrition . In Japan, a person who is not in a condition to be hospitalized voluntarily and is not at risk of self-injury or other harm can still be hospitalized after examination by a doctor and with family consent. The tendency for a patient’s family to influence the treatment plan in Japanese medicine has been reported previously .
In the present study, the number of physicians in the UK and the US who chose compulsory treatment for young patients was significantly lower when the decision was left to the patient than when the patient’s family wanted to initiate treatment. The reason for this may be that when the decision to initiate treatment is left to the patient, compulsory treatment may deteriorate the therapeutic relationship and make it difficult to continue treatment in the future. Although young patients with acute AN are less likely to be in mortal danger than are older patients with chronic AN , ensuring that treatment can be continued may be in their best interest. Furthermore, compulsory hospitalization may only have a limited therapeutic effect .
The differences between Cases A and B were in the patient’s age and disease duration. Case B was more severe because of the longer disease duration. Although some patients appreciate having received coercive treatment after recovery , some severely ill patients have been reported to oppose coercive treatment even after they have recovered . For patients with severe AN with a long disease duration, the long-lasting fear of obesity may have been pathologically internalized as an identity; thus, refusing treatment may have reached the point of being a belief for the patients. In the present study, the proportion of physicians in all three countries who did not choose compulsory treatment for older patients with long disease duration was higher than that of physicians who did not choose compulsory treatment for younger patients. This trend of physicians not choosing compulsory treatment was also noted when family members left the decision to receive treatment to the patient; however, the result was not statistically significant. This trend may indicate that in the case of patients having severe and enduring AN with long disease duration, their morbid attitudes may have been interpreted as beliefs related to their identities. Thus, the physicians may have respected the patient's self-determination. Furthermore, even if a life-threatening AN crisis is averted for patients with severe and enduring disease, the crisis is likely to recur . This may be a reason why some respondents in the present study considered involuntary treatment futile from a long-term perspective.
In the UK and the US, where the trends were relatively similar, attitudes toward refusal of treatment among physicians with many or few years of experience as clinicians and among physicians who saw many or few patients was examined, and no significant differences were found. Attitudes toward refusal of treatment reflect ethical values, and these results suggest that these values may be intrinsically present in each physician, rather than being developed by their experience as physicians.
Strengths and limitations
Ethical issues in clinical practice are difficult to resolve with normative theory alone. When responding normatively to ethical issues in clinical practice, it is important to consider what should be done after understanding the current situation through empirical data. This is the first published international survey of physicians' attitudes toward refusal of treatment by patients with AN, and the data presented here could be used as reference when considering treatment refusal in patients with AN from the perspective of empirical bioethics . However, this study has some limitations. First, the attitude toward a fictitious vignette case may differ from the attitude when confronted with an actual case of refusal of treatment in the course of clinical practice due to mental conflict. Second, the questionnaire was based on simulated cases; thus, the effect of the inpatient facilities and ethics policies of the respondents’ institutions on individual responses during actual cases was not reflected in this study. Third, owing to the small size of the study sample, the generalizability of the survey is difficult to estimate. Fourth, the response rate (40%) in Japan was lower than expected, possibly because a reminder was not sent to the participants. Fifth, since the survey was conducted using questionnaires delivered by mail in Japan, whereas web-based questionnaires were used instead in the UK and in the US, it is possible that differences in the survey method might have affected the results. Sixth, although a dual translation was used, the translation of the vignette cases may have altered some nuances, biasing the responses. Despite these limitations, this study is significant as it is the first published international survey conducted to compare the attitudes of medical practitioners toward refusal of treatment by patients with eating disorders.
In the future, it will be necessary to investigate whether physicians in practice recognize the mental capacity of patients with severe AN because mental capacity is directly related to the degree of demand to accept the patient's refusal of treatment. Additionally, an examination of how the mental capacity of patients with AN who refuse treatment is assessed and what type of treatment is provided when compulsory treatment is not chosen would also be helpful in the development of practical guidelines. Moreover, the degree of invasive treatment following compulsory hospitalization is a complex issue involving the principles of respect for autonomy, the principle of no harm, the principle of beneficence, and the law . Therefore, it would make sense to investigate and analyze what is actually done in practice to guide decisions in case of refusal of treatment.
Ideally, the response to refusal of treatment by patients with AN should be to protect life while respecting the patient's autonomy from an ethical standpoint. However, the approach for striking this balance is unclear. The present study revealed that the attitudes and choices of physicians toward refusal of treatment for anorexia nervosa tend to vary, particularly if the patient’s family members left the decision to receive treatment to the patient. Since the patient's condition and surrounding circumstances differ from case to case, it is difficult to determine a uniform response in advance. Therefore, the development of guidelines for shareable broad ethical ideas and decision-making procedures may be useful. Keeping the decision-making process uniform and fair, through guidelines, would satisfy procedural justice . However, as demonstrated by the differences in the attitudes of physicians in each country in the present study, it is important to consider the background of each country while ensuring that the important ethical arguments are included in the guidelines. This is because guidelines based just on ethical idealism will be confusing in actual clinical practice. The issue of treatment refusal by patients with AN involves not only a clinical perspective but also ethical and cultural aspects. The results of this study may assist in examining multiple aspects of treatment refusal by patients with AN.
