your life your choices

  There’s only one person who is truly qualified to
tell health care providers how you feel about
different kinds of health care issues—and that’s you.
But, what if you get sick, or injured so severely that
you can’t communicate with your doctors or family
members? Have you thought about what kinds of
medical care you would want? Do your loved ones
and health care providers know your wishes?
Many people assume that close family members
automatically know what they want. But studies
have shown that spouses guess wrong over half the
time about what kinds of treatment their husbands

or wives would want.
