I just saw that I posted nearly the identical statement Karen originally made. Sorry, not trying to copycat, must have been subliminally received in my brain cells.

"Can I get a ballpark finger...figure?"

Well, Rick was known for a lot of things but I don't think that's one of them.

New question. Regarding life support.

I am watching reruns of Ryan's Hope (circa 1976) and there is a storyline where a wife is on life support and her doctor husband just literally "pulled the plug." Apparently he will be facing charges and is in big-time trouble, despite the fact that being left on life support was very clearly stated by her before she died, as what she did not want.

My question is, when did the choice of pulling the plug (so to speak) become legal. Or is it still not? (Happy to say I am not familiar with this dilemma.)

Julie, there have been huge court cases over this very thing. My DH and I have our directives all signed and witnessed. Do you?

Julieboo I work in an ICU in Texas. Like Ophilia stated, the best/easiest way to see that your wishes are carried out is to have a current signed living will.

But

In a case where the physician feels that the patient is not going to get better and their quality of life is going to be poor...such as require ventilator, brain injury that prevents interaction with their surroundings and requires 24 hour care, etc....if there is no "Living Will" or "Medical Power of Attorney" then the closest relative makes the decision, whether it be spouse, oldest child, sibling, parent ect.

I have witnessed many "pulling of the plugs"...it of course does not mean we are killing them only that we are removing artificial life support such as a ventilator, or powerful intravenous cardiovascular drugs that always come with serious side effects.

So to answer your question...in TX pulling the plug is legal when : 1. the family and doctor agree, or 2. the patient has made known their wishes ( the MD is legally bound to follow the patients wishes in these cases)


"(Happy to say I am not familiar with this dilemma.)"

I have helped many families make this decision and it is never made easily. Unfortunately it is probable we will all be faced with this dilemma sooner or later.

Boberg, I always thought that a Living Will was the be-all, end-all for those sorts of decisions. My mother, sister, and I spent 4 days last week in Michigan, as my mother's brother is extremely ill. He was placed in intensive care and will transfer to a skilled nursing facility if he pulls through. The people at the hospital told us that his Living Will is not worth much more than the paper it is printed on.

His dumb attorney drew up his Living Trust and the Living Will is a section of that. He either has to verbally tell them his wishes or sign an Advance Directives and have 2 witnesses sign it. Neither of the witnesses can be either named in his will or living trust, or be related to him.

In New York, I believe the Living Will is all that is necessary.

We have ours set up so our youngest daughter makes the decision. We know our son would go "oh no keep them alive,don't let them die". He would then talk our middle daughter into keeping us until we rotted. But our youngest...she would say pull the plug and let them go!!
