Living Wills: A Hidden Risk
Summary
Having a Living Will is crucial, whether you're in a vegetative state or not. However, many current Living Wills come with significant issues that need attention.Understanding the Risks
Clarity is Key
A major issue with Living Wills is the risk of misinterpretation by medical staff. Many of these documents are standardized, legally focused, and don't align well with medical needs. They are often recommended to patients with terminal conditions who have already opted for comfort care or hospice. As a result, when medical staff encounter a Living Will, they might associate it with less aggressive treatment, potentially compromising care and safety.The Need for Awareness
Most people who create a Living Will aren't aware of these risks. They typically desire full medical care unless they are terminally ill despite all reasonable interventions, or in a persistent vegetative state.Collaboration is Crucial
It's important for Living Wills to be reviewed and interpreted by at least two people. This team approach allows them to verify the document and the patient's medical history to make informed decisions.The Role of Attorneys
Attorneys play a part in the issues surrounding Living Wills when they draft these documents without input from experienced physicians. Collaboration with medical professionals is essential to ensure clarity and appropriateness.By understanding these potential pitfalls, individuals can make more informed decisions about their Living Wills, enhancing both their safety and the quality of care they receive.
