Not sure where you live, but in my state (and states around me) EMT/Paramedics know to check the fridge door for a MOLST form that is usually brightly colored (easy to see) and contains your wishes - i.e. no CPR or no intubation etc; usually these are filled out in conjunction with your doctor, they keep a copy and you put a copy on your fridge where it is easy to find - more common for very elderly folks and those with terminal illnesses - but I supposed anyone could have one.

- denton-scratch 4y agoYeah, that only works well if I carry my fridge around with me! /s I could carry the note, of course; but the chances are I'd forget to pin it back on the fridge. Perhaps I should stick a colourful note to my fridge, saying "Paramedics: instructions in desk drawer".
