[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much, everyone. I appreciate your answers, understanding, advice, and sympathy. 🙏 I’ll add that a friend whose dad died of Alzheimer’s said they’d I’d give antibiotics because they felt it was kinder and less painful. She is a doctor so I guess she based this choice on her experience with patients. This drove home the point that an advanced directive can not take everything into consideration, so we may have to deduce what is best based on the info we have at the time. [/quote] The reason it's called an "advance" directive, not an "advanced" directive, is that your loved one is letting you know IN ADVANCE what they do and don't want. Unless there's a miracle cure for whatever a patient is getting abx for, that hasn't changed.[/quote]
