A living will is a legal document that outlines a person's preferences for medical treatment in case they become unable to communicate their wishes due to illness or injury. It allows individuals to specify what types of life-sustaining measures they want or do not want, such as resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. By discussing a living will with the patient and their family, we can ensure that their values and choices regarding end-of-life care are respected, providing peace of mind during difficult times. It's important to encourage open dialogue about their wishes and clarify any questions they may have.
