Living will

[tiderollsonu]

Anyone have any experience with this? Just watched my uncle's daughter have to make the decision to take him off of life support after he coded in recovery and got brain damage (possible blood clot). He broke his leg and went in for surgery to put pins in it.

Do not want my daughter to have to make those decisions if something happens to me. Broke my heart to see her go through that and she is not much older than my daughter.

Wondering if there is a guide or template and if you have to do anything with it to make it official and where do you keep it or give it to in case something happens to you.

So sorry about that and prayers to your uncle’s daughter. Wish I could help, but hopefully someone here will be able to

At the hospital with my FIL having to make the same call for my MIL. She had a living will, but was only a DNR for chest compressions. So he had to make the call to pull the plug.

Make sure yours is specific and expresses your wishes clearly.

A lesson I learned this week is do not wait until it is to late. Make these decisions so your loved ones do not have to.

Definitely a good idea since COVID.

I have a Medical Powers of Attorney as well as a non-medical Powers of Attorney for being unable to make decisions. Once I'm gone I have a Will to dispose of my property.

Already dealt with this once. No big deal to me as I am emotionless. But you are probably right for most people.

So true.....I have joked many times that if we ever get to the point where the executions are starting.....I will happily apply for the job. I could literally go to work "flipping the switch" all day long and have it never affect me one bit.

Flipping a switch to electrocute someone to death has to be one of the more satisfying ways to execute somebody. Much moreso than say, injecting their IV with the drug that stops their heart, or even pulling the trigger on a firing squad.

Just don't use a dry sponge

My order would be:
Switch
Trigger (start with knees and elbow and work from there.)


IV


Me using a baseball bat


Firing squad (no individual gets the satisfaction and the fucker goes too quick.)

I had to make the decision to take my wife of life support after being declared brain dead at age 21. #feelsbadman
