Great. Please document how you'd like your family to think about it. Patients who aren't clear on what they care about make it harder on their physicians and much more importantly on their families. 'I think he would have wanted...' vs 'He says he wanted X, right here in this document.' Most physicians will bend over backwards to try to make it happen if its a realistic goal.
- jarfil 8y agoThe thing is, I don't care what will happen when I can't think for myself anymore. If my family, or whoever, wants to think about what I would have wanted... that's not my problem anymore, I'll be out, and as far as I'm concerned they can do whatever they want. That's why I'd rather not document anything: if I can make the decision, I don't want anyone or anything to make that decision for me, and if I can't, then I don't care.
