For no reason
Dec. 29th, 2014 05:04 pmFilled out my medical directive - not sure who to label as person to made my life and death decisions. I don't have family I can rely on for that. My mom would be the worst of all - too weak, emotional.
It's clear when the say "Unlikely return to consciousness or will-die-soon." To me those are no brainers - get me high beyond ability to feel oxygen deprivation and pull the plug (would prefer a bullet to the brain or something quick, without wasting research or donation parts).
They don't have blocks for my situation: What if it isn't clear if I'll recover or not? Like 88% of people who get CPR don't live 8 months and the death is horrific. If I could be stuffed on a ventilator and recover? Sure. But how clear is it?
Who do I burden with this shit, that I trust to respect my priorities?
With the job comes forgiveness for the fact it is not possible to foresee all the possible decisions that may come up. They don't give % chance of recover from x condition or y procedure.
