No Reason other than my "Wishes"
I am a healthy, 35 Year old married male from WISCONSIN, with no religous reasons to refuse blood or blood products. I have decided that I don't want any type of medical care other than pain meds and wound dressings.
I mean they can fix a broken bone or fix a cut as long as it doesn't require: CPR, Feeding tubes, Blood or Blood products etc.
If I am injured so badly that I will die without the use of these things... then so be it.
Is it my right to have a living will declare all this?
It's my life and if I don't want these people poking and proding and conducting "experiments" on me while I am unable to communicate... don't I have the right to refuse any life saving techniques?
This is my wish. I just want to be left alone in this situation. heavy pain meds for comfort and nothing more.
I don't feel my wife has the right to go against my wishes. It is my medical care... and I will decide what I think is best for me. Not my wife who will probably miss the extra income more than my company.
