There is nothing about being a lawyer which requires one to lie. The opposite is true. A lawyer caught lying to a Court or to another lawyer develops a reputation which is not conducive to success in the profession.
As to the article itself, it would be absurd to withhold ER care or roadside care to someone because he/she had a Living Will (Directive to Physicians). The document is quite clear as to when extraordinary health care procedures are to terminate -- and it clearly does not apply to any emergency situation or an accident scene.

Unfortunately, minds can be fuzzy and many seem to be making their own independent (and incorrect) assumptions about what the documents mean.

I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that...Johnny Cochran and OJ Simpson come to mind.
But the 2nd part is spot on.
