No matter what our age, whether we are in our twenties, or sixties, or other ages in between, we would just as soon not think about our death and our wishes pertaining thereof. This includes a Living Will Bucks County for their residents, and other issues such as a person who would serve as a power of attorney, etc. It is absolutely for each person to have a Living Will completed and on file with his/her family physician, and the local hospital. It is also a good idea for you to have a copy of it close at hand at home to be able to take with you in case you are being admitted to another hospital, or extended care facility.
Visit their web site and you will get a little better understanding of a living will. You have the right to have your final wishes carried out according to the letter of your desire. There are people who are members of certain churches who do not want to be subjected to blood transfusions. If they do not have a living will and are seriously injured, bleeding profusely, a blood transfusion is likely to be administered.
If a person has had a life threatening heart attack or stroke, or other serious health issue, the hospital emergency room will likely make heroic efforts to save that persons life. They will be put on a respirator (a machine that will breathe for them and will cause the heart to continue to beat). Many times, the doctor will be aware that a stroke victim’s brain is so swollen in parts, he/she will inform the family that they can do a certain amount of things to keep the patient alive, but the patient is “brain dead”. This means that they can keep the patient alive, but the brain will never function again. This is the time when the medical staff and your family really needs to know what you want to have done.
If you and your elder law attorney have completed a Living Will Bucks County, there will be no doubt. If you want heroic efforts, they will do it. If you want to be allowed to pass on, they can remove life saving machines, and you can peacefully go to your eternal rest.
