Скачать или смотреть Episode #28: Planning for the Worst With a Healthcare Proxy

You’re awake most of the time when getting medical care, but the future is a funny thing. It’s not a given that you’ll be able to speak or even write your healthcare desires tomorrow or in 20 years. If you’re in a coma or become unable to make decisions, someone else has to act on your behalf for many items like money, last wishes, and health. On the medical side of things, patients can avoid these confusing and traumatic situations by picking a healthcare proxy. Today’s episode of Friendly Neighborhood Patient isn’t legal advice at all, but we do want to offer some background on preparing for the worst situations where you need someone to know your healthcare preferences through and through.
