[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 287486, member: 1514"] I think to legally cover herself, I would call 911 if he refuses to go to doctor. If he refuses the ambulance services well at least she has that documentation. Maybe they can get him to go though. Maybe while in the hospital, the doctors could convince him to sign a medical power of attorney. Or the hospital social workers. I know when I was in the hospital this past fall they talked to me about the living will and the medical power of attorney. [/QUOTE]
