The purpose of this blog is not to archive talks. I reference this particular talk on this particular Saturday as two documents were mentioned: The Five Wishes directive, and the POLST document, both end-of-life documents.
The Fives Wishes is a document is purchased from http://www.agingwithdignity.org (the file below is a sample). It is a lengthier document that guides the user through a broad range of aspects including family, medical care, and burial.
The POLST requires a doctor guidance to complete (and sign), but the result is a single-sided, single-page document meant for professions to instantly inform them of the medical care options you choose.
