Advance Directives 'not honored here'
Have any coordinators seen the email going around that indicates that one of Jehovah's Witnesses 'read the fine print' on an admissions form at a hospital when preparing for surgery and it stated something to the effect of "Advance Directives are not honored in this facility" and that treatment would be provided based on the physician's opinion of what was best for the patient.? I was shown this email by someone and would be interested to know what facility would include something like this that sounds as though it was written specifically for our patient population. Any idea if this is valid?
