Hi everyone,
First, I meant advance DIRECTIVE!
I'm back with another question. Does anyone know, if in lieu of having an advance directive in place, if a verbal acknowledgement from a spouse that the PALS does not want life saving measures is sufficient? I've heard that in the event of a crisis that ends up in the ER "all life saving measures will be taken." Does that apply even if a husband or wife says the PALS doesn't want it? TIA!
