Ok. PSDA stands for Patient Self Determination Act.
Here is sec 102 of that act: § 489.102 Requirements for providers.
(a) Hospitals, critical access hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, nursing facilities, home health agencies, providers of home health care (and for Medicaid purposes, providers of personal care services), hospices, and religious nonmedical health care institutions must maintain written policies and procedures concerning advance directives with respect to all adult individuals receiving medical care, or patient care in the case of a patient in a religious nonmedical health care institution, by or through the provider and are required to:
(1) Provide written information to such individuals concerning -
(i) An individual's rights under State law (whether statutory or recognized by the courts of the State) to make decisions concerning such medical care, including the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment and the right to formulate,
That's far enough. It's Federal law.

A federal law?
Hahahahaha!
Unfortunately, this doesn’t do what you think it does.
“concerning advance directives”

So, someone can put in the following:
In case of Covid:
No vent
No Remdesivir
Give nasal O2
Give O2 mask
Give Ivermectin at xx dose
Give azithromax/doxycycline at xx dose
Give zinc at xx mg
Give budesonide at xx dose
Give vitamin C at xx dose
Give vitamin D at xx dose
??
What does it not do?
Holy crap. I thought you were joking, so I looked it up.
See above. Someone else already figured it out.
People who aren’t lawyers shouldn’t pull random things off social media and then think they have a magic talisman.
He's channeling Cornelius Vanderbilt's son: "Law? What do I care about the law? Hain't I got the power?"
No. There are other legal avenues. Real avenues, not twisted social media garbage.
Advance directives are used as a living will. To direct how you will be cared for when the surgery goes south. Like when your dad lives at home and gets hospice care. You can tell the hospital or emergency people that they don’t need to do life saving stuff as you have accepted your fate at a point prior to your demise.
So what does it do? Please tell. I am not good at grokking Federal Law-speak.
It’s nice that you know all about this.
But it would be even nicer if you could kindly explain.
Just say NO.
I have no clue what you mean in connection with the article.
