Advance Directive/Do Not Resucitate
- Make your wishes known ahead of time, before you become unable to do so. This document should be shared with family members and a copy given to your primary physician so they are aware of your wishes. This document requires that you be "of sound mind" so you should not wait until serious illness strikes, otherwise it may be subject to challenge by family members who disagree with your choices.
