AMD

How do you deal with it when your loved one told you she wanted to exercise "Advance Medical Directive"?


An Advance Medical Directive (AMD) is a legal document you sign in advance to inform your doctor that you do not want the use of any life-sustaining treatment to be used to prolong your life in the event you become terminally ill and unconscious and where death is imminent.


will you feel that u have somehow fail at something.. Wat made that person suddenly wanted to do that??? Tingles of stress flow thru my body... but its a personal decision and all i could ask was "Why didn't you discuss with us before that?"

now i keep wondering if there is anything wrong!!! omg...

Perhaps this person could have reflected upon this issue because of contact with others who are terminally ill and unconscious?
