Hello and welcome to Living will choice, my name is Frank Tadeo, as a critical care nurse with over 20 years of experience at the bedside and now a clinical manager. I have witnessed the challenges that many families face when they have to make medical decisions for their loved ones. I have helped countless uninformed families work through some of the toughest decisions in their lives. I would like to help you prepare a document that will clearly define who will be making those medical decisions for you should you not be able to speak for yourself. In this document you can express your values and define what medical choices work for you. This document, your advance directive will guide your decision maker and the health care team in planning your personalized care. You have lived your life with determination and control, why give up that control? Helping individuals maintain that self determination and control and alleviating some of the suffering that families go through motivated me to create this site.
We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be. ~Jane Austen
