Did You Know . . .

Did you know doctors could ignore your advance medical directive? Were you aware physicians are allowed to go against your Living Will if you actually want them to fight for your life? Did you know doctors can overrule the wishes of your surrogates (family) and take away measures including food and hydration without which the patient can not survive? My family knew none of this until Vanderbilt medical staff orchestrated and hastened my Father's demise.
