If you don’t have opinions about anything until a court tells you what opinion to have, maybe you shouldn’t trouble your mind by reading anything other than court decisions.
It’s a pdf file. You should be able to open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Maybe your security settings are blocking pdf files?
I’m using Firefox, and the file wants to open in IE. *sigh* I never use IE. I’ve probably forgotten how.
Another way to open it would be to save it to your computer, and open it with Acrobat.
If you right-click the file, does it give a good menu choice?
If you find anyone posting the hysterical bull crap you mentioned, let me know.
Anyone surprised?
Yes, but the file just will not open, goes back to the “Do you want to open this file?” window.
I can open IE but I’ll have to get to FR on it, and pick up the link again, I think.
I think I’ll give it a pass.
Not really. I’ve been watching the progression long enough to predict the arguments before they start.
You are supposed to have a 'donor' card in your wallet - or have it on your license if you want to so do -Now they want to change that to - if you DON'T have anything saying NO NO NO - they can legally "assume" you wanted too!
And you do NOT want to make out a living will. there are loop holes in it they will jump through.
You need to make out a "Will to Live" -

I can freepmail you the text if you like.
Yes, thank you very much.
You’re welcome. I just sent it.
I had a baby in that hospital feb 7, 2007. Words fail me.
With all due respect, are you like....14 or some such young age???
“So someone from organ donor took it on himself to disconnect her.
Words fail me....”
Why do I get the feeling that this guy does this all the time?
Yeh, well when the charge nurse is not there, I ask where is she, and when will she be back? I learned to be pretty insistent. Eventually, I came to know a lot of the charge nurses and asst. managers of each floor by name. Always very polite, reasonable, and firm. Always wrote thank you notes to those who helped me.
I also had my cardiologist’s number and my primary care physicians number in my cell phone. Hardly ever had to use them, but they never failed to call me back within 3 minutes when I needed them.
Sometimes people just need time to recover and heal.
They deserve that chance.
That aside, the organ donor guy murdered her. He was in no position to make that decision. He was not trained to nor qualified to. It was not his decision to make.
There’s no way of knowing what may have happened to her given the chance. She very well could have recovered. She may not have.
But she deserved the chance.
Good idea. Your insistence puts everyone on notice that you are there to protect your loved one.
I had my dad’s advance directive etc in my purse, and never let any one see them. I also had his general and durable power of attorney which I gave them a copy of.
I told him he was full code (ie all possible measures to keep him alive)until I said otherwise. No way would I give them a paper and let them interpret it to suit them.
When they asked about living will etc. I just told them, don’t worry I have everything I need to do anything that may need to be done - so just ask me if you have a question.
