Watch the FREE Seminar:

What is an Advance Directive? Are they legally binding? What you NEED to do to make it a legal medical order: The POLST form.

Oct 30, 2024 7:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Many of us “will be called” to show up for someone we love at the end of life. Knowing how to do that changes everything.

In this week’s training:

You will learn from Suzanne B. O’Brien RN, the Founder & CEO of Doulagivers Institute and pioneer in the global DEATH DOULA Movement who will teach YOU how to support someone you love at the end of life.

Did you know? Even if your living will and advance directive documents have been witnessed and notarized, they are still not legally binding. Yes, you read that correctly. Even though your loved one’s doctors should abide by them, they can refuse to comply if they have an objection of conscience or consider the patient’s wishes to be medically inappropriate. And the law is on the doctors’ side. 

The truth is that these documents were not created to protect the patient. They were created to protect the doctor if they did follow the patient’s wishes. That way, the family couldn’t sue. 

So if you can’t ensure that doctors will abide by the living will, even if discussed ahead of time, what can you do?

That’s what this seminar is about—making decisions ahead of time and being as ready as possible for what might come. We all need to take matters into our own hands as early as possible to make sure we are prepared before we find ourselves in a stressful state of crisis. Join me this week to get these important questions answered and learn what you NEED to do to have a legal medical order.
