Advance directives, living will, HCPOA, organ donation--make a decision while you're able--or someone may be making it for you--and for all the wrong reasons. Once you make a decision, tell your doctor, tell your family, tell your friends, tell your lawyer if necessary to ensure that YOUR decision is respected when you can't speak for yourself.

I take the time to explain what to expect and how to get what your need while you are in the hospital.
