[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is an doctor and had a patient who wouldn't take a life saving blood transfusion (she was jehovah's witness and had a DNR). As she died they made both her and her husband sign all sorts of papers acknowledging that they knew this would lead to death and absolving the doctor and hospital of liability. I'd assume if you didn't want to treat your cancer they'd have you sign something. You'd need to have a DNR signed too or else your DH could step in when you were incapacitated. [/quote] Thank you, this is sort of what I was looking for. I wasn’t sure if the doctor could require you to tell your spouse or get a mental competence certificate if you just opted against treatment.[/quote]
