Don’t Put Off Filing Your Health Care Directives
<p></p> <img src=https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/Article_Webp/healthcare.webp alt=undefined style=height: auto;width: auto/> <p></p> <p>My primary doctor kept asking for my advance health care directive and was relieved when I finally filled out the form and put it in my medical file. It’s an easy thing to procrastinate about, isn’t it?</p> <p>California law gives you the right to decide in advance what you want when it comes to medical treatment being withheld or withdrawn. You can name someone to make serious health care decisions for you in case you’re incapacitated, or even if you’re not. If there’s a time when you can’t state your preferences, this form will guide your agent and doctor. For example, do you want extraordinary measures taken in a health emergency no matter what, or are there some situations where you’d say that life isn’t worth living? You can make a decision about donating your organs at death and make your wishes clear about whether you’d like to be buried or cremated.</p> <p>The form needs to be either notarized or signed by two independent witnesses, and you have the right to revoke or replace the signed form at any time. <a href=https://canhr.org/advance-health-care-directive-form/ target=_self>Here’s a good source</a> for more information. </p> <p><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/ target=_self>Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a> </p> <p><strong>Related Articles</strong><br><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/General-Health-Wellness/ target=_self>The Essential Guide to General Health & Wellness Services</a><br><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/ target=_self>Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a><br><a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/ target=_self>Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a> <a href=https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-top-rated-companies/hub/ca/san-francisco-bay-area/ target=_self>Find Top Rated Companies in the San Francisco Bay Area</a> </p>
