“m. I can no longer think clearly-I am confused all the time.”
Disgusting! The circled items speak for themselves. If one is always confused would one have the clarity to answer ‘m?’ The wrong medication or other complications could add to this factor.
The most important assessment is the medical prognosis. It is up to the the patient/family and medical team to decided on a case by case basis ... NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
We need this confirmed and I don’t want to do it.
It’s obvious what the Obama administration is trying to do here...guilt vets into offing themselves for the ‘greater good’. It is despicable and evil! Geez...no wonder our vets get depressed!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUSH FOR SEEING THE EVIL INHERENT IN THIS ‘FORM’! Obama is a cold calculating man.
There goes half of the French Military!

I do not disagree with you as to where the decision should be made. Read the booklet in it’s entirity. this is an effort by those who deal with the dying to address the issues of what they want when they are still in a functioning and coherent state. If someone responds that they are confused all the time several things happen ( at least in the VA here in northern california) first the veteran is reevaluated for medications to see if there is some confusion being caused by mixed meds or dosage issues. Second the vet is scheduled for another appointment with the doc
This booklet is a starting point for family discussions. Your own family physician has a similar one that will be given to you or your care giver as you get nearer to making decisions.
