You've made the end of life issues easier for me to discuss with my family. Two years ago, I completed the P.O.L.S.T. form for my elderly mother who is in a care facility. I was a little confused because my mom has an Advance Directive and now realize this form is a mandated requirement in CA.

You had great questions today. I am glad you will be able to use my quality-of-life statement. Make sure a copy of whatever your mom finally drafts gets into her medical record at the hospital and at each of her doctor's offices. If she gets admitted again, you need to alert everyone that she has a document in the chart and you expect them to honor it. You need to do this each time she changes departments: ER to ICU to regular room to TCU, etc. Although medical information should travel with the patient, it often gets lost in the details. Also, alert each new doctor and nurse as they come on as part of her care team. Thanks. You had great questions today. I am glad you will be able to use my quality-of-life statement.

He promised he would find the ICU MD to make the final call about 'pulling the plug' but this is so much more detailed and helpful. Wonderful guide, Viki. And thanks..I was on the call today and got a copy of your book. I am looking forward to reading it.
