Until I saw my first code, and saw the quality of life that the person had afterwards, I would have agreed that I would want heroic measures. After seeing the devistation that is sometimes left in the wake of a code, I hope when my time comes, I go peacfully and cause my loved ones the least amount of trauma. And I also believe the best gift you can give your family is a living will/advanced directive. No one wants to make decisions for someone else and wrestle with a mountain of "what ifs?"Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15790603075917451847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774676666559926705.post-11556197832149364372010-05-31T03:17:10.024-04:002010-05-31T03:17:10.024-04:00Well said.
