Is Your Living Will Compromising Your Safety?If you have a living will, you probably had it prepared so your wishes could be carried out if you became incapable of making your own medical decisions. But, did you realize there is a risk of your living will being misinterpreted? Patients who are not terminally ill die in hospitals every year because of medical staff misinterpretations of living wills. These are patients who would have otherwise lived if treated. But, too often, patients with living wills are treated as DNR-a code status understood by physicians and staff to mean "do not resuscitate." However, in many cases their status should have been "Full Code," which tells those in authority to use aggressive efforts to save patients' lives. Unfortunately, living wills do not contain patient code status designations and therein lies the problem.As an emergency room physician, Ferdinando L. Mirarchi, D.O. understands how these misinterpretations happen. In Understanding Your Living Will, Dr. Mirarchi explains how to include lifesaving patient code status information in your living will and in the living wills of your loved ones. Among the questions he answers: How can you be sure your living will makes your wishes clear? What are the hidden dangers in living wills? How can you avoid the misinterpretation of a DNR code status? When does a living will become active? Why is it important to have a health care power of attorney? What is a health care proxy?A Book to Help You Ensure Your Living Will Follows Your Wishes Debunking common misconceptions about living wills, this manual addresses various aspects of properly preparing this important legal document. Citing real-life scenarios and actual case events, it provides advice on how to protect autonomy, the various components of life support, and the often-overlooked yet vital issue of code-status designation.

But as time went on, she felt instinctively that allergies were not the problem. Sharon asked for a chest x-ray. The x-ray results led to more tests and confirmed her worst fears. She had cancer. As if that news weren't bad enough, Sharon soon learned that she had two separate cancers - Hodgkin's Disease and thyroid cancer. Determined to fight the diseases that threatened her life, Sharon sought out Dr. Andre Goy, internationally known hematologist oncologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Thanks to his expertise and treatment, she is alive. Now, in her memoir, Look Out Cancer, Here I Come, Sharon Parker tells her own story of survival and draws from her experience to offer encouragement to others. Among the advice she shares: *Follow your instincts to get more tests. People are misdiagnosed everyday.; *Don't be afraid to ask questions of health professionals.; *During treatment, surround yourself with positive people.; *Focus on today and plan for tomorrow.; *Don't underestimate the power of caregivers and those who offer help. Today, Sharon's mission is raising money for lymphoma research through her book and through the Life Lover Foundation, which she founded. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.

In 1958, nineteen-year-old Charles Starkweather gained notoriety as one of the nation's first spree killers. He murdered eleven people in Nebraska and one in Wyoming. After a week on the run, he was arrested, later convicted, and sentenced to die in the electric chair. Starkweather's girlfriend, Caril Fugate, fourteen, was with him throughout the murder spree. Was she his hostage or a participant? This question still stirs debate more than sixty years later. Fugate claims she was too terrified to attempt escape-Starkweather had told her he would have her family killed if she disobeyed him. Unbeknownst to her, he had already murdered them. A jury found Fugate guilty of first-degree murder. She was sentenced to life in prison; however, in 1976 she was paroled at age thirty-two. Now, in The Twelfth Victim, attorneys Linda M. Battisti and John S. Berry, Sr. pull together years of research to tell how Fugate was a victim of both Charles Starkweather and the Nebraska justice system. "When Charles Starkweather was arrested in 1958 at only 19 years of age, he gained notoriety as America's first spree killer, and his 15-year-old girlfriend, Caril Fugate, became the youngest female in U.S. history to be tried and sentenced for first-degree murder--a sentence that this investigation questions through analyzing years of research." -- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
