If you and your doctor do not agree about your medical treatment, you have the right to request to be treated by another doctor. Your advance directive can be changed, or revoked by you at any time, either verbally, or in writing. If you do so, it is crucial that you tell your physician and family members, along with anyone you have designated as your decision maker. You can complete an advance directive form yourself in the presence of acceptable witnesses. You may wish to download copies of Advance Directives together with instructions and definitions.
Forms are available also on the hospital wards.
It is highly recommended that you discuss advance directives with your family and physician before you prepare one. Help is available at the Legal Assistance Office, Building 1, Room D-201. It is important to remember that you are a member of your own health care team. Your wishes about your care are important to your doctor and the other health care professionals. They can serve you best if you continue to talk with them and with your family throughout your treatment, both in and out of the hospital.
