Living Wills & Healthcare Directives
Meurer & Potter Law Office, Denver, Colorado
If you are unable to make decisions for yourself, Living Wills & Healthcare Directives created with help from the Meurer & Potter Law Office can speak for you. These are written, legal instructions affecting your medical care preferences. Whether you’re seriously hurt in a car accident or in a coma due to an ongoing illness, these instructions will guide your doctors as they make decisions regarding:
- Resuscitation measures, such as restarting the heart if it stops
- Using mechanical ventilation if you’re unable to do so on your own
- If and how long you wish to be tube-fed if recovery is unlikely
- How long do you want to receive dialysis treatment
- Use of antibiotics or antiviral medicines near the end of life
- Palliative care, including pain management, or being allowed home
- If you wish to donate organs and tissue transplants
- If your body is to be donated for scientific study
Planning ahead ensures you get the care you want while relieving loved ones of the stress of making important medical decisions for you. Removing the burden also reduces confusion and prevents arguments amongst your family members.
