Did not think about that, this is very true.
That's crossed my mind also. I think I'm just living in a fantasy world where I can sign a form, ctb and if needed, not have anyone intervene so I can just die unless there's no chance for death. I have to look at all the legal options and see if there's anything I could do, but I highly doubt it.
Yeah I'm going through all the options just have a huge fear of surviving or being severely disabled. My family is the type to keep me on life support in hopes for a miracle. I only told one person to not keep me on life support or anything for any reason, if it's my time to go, it's my time to go. It's just constantly in the back of my head being kept on life support in a coma for weeks because my family is too selfish to let go. It's not something I want.
No, it's not silly. I think your family will respect your wishes if your like brain dead or a vegetable . Other circumstances, they might try and resuscitate. What method of CTB are you worried that you'll somehow survive? hanging?
That's the thing, my family won't respect my wishes regardless what state I'm in. I don't really have a method that I'm set on, hanging is on the top of my list but I'm not positive on it. I'm looking for a guarantee method.
I used to be an EMT. Unless the DNR form was in perfect order, and all but taped to the patient's forehead (it was usually taped to the headboard of the bed), we were bound by law to ignore it. Our job was to attempt to save lives, and no matter how much either the patient or the family told us otherwise, without that perfect DNR we had to try and save the life. We would have been legally liable had we done otherwise --and if there's one thing more fearsome than death, it's lawyers.
This. I already made my will to not be resuscitated under any circumstance and attempted to get an advance form from the docter to make it official and was immediately turned down to the point of being outright insulted for even asking:( So I bought a medical identifacation bracelet that has my name in the front, and "See living will" in the back that I wear 24/7. I doubt it'll be of any use though if such a situation were to arise. They'll most likely still try and resuscitate me, completely ignoring my explicit wishes
.An EMT will look at your bracelet, see that it does not contain any relevant medical information (diabetic, epileptic, etc.), and ignore it. In an EMS situation, they couldn't care less about your living will or advanced directive. Only an official DNR, clearly posted near your body and fully and accurately completed would be recognized and heeded.
