[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most 70 year olds have a living will. Their wishes will be spelled out there. Search around for it or talk to health care providers to see if your loved one has a living will on file. Best wishes. [/quote] This is woefully naive. Most living wills are pretty useless unless the medical prognosis is very clear. Often it is not. Certainly not this soon unless it is very bad news. [/quote] Have you ever seen a living will? An elderly person ought to have a Do Not Intubate order in their living will. That would cover a lot of situations.[/quote]
