Loving Conversations - If You Didn't Put It In Writing (Chapter 5)

Loving Conversations: One Family's Story About the Importance of Advance Healthcare Planning follows a fictional family through the difficult process of making healthcare decisions for a loved one who did not make healthcare plans in advance. Each dramatization is followed by a didactic session where health lawyers answer some common questions about advance directives. This video was produced by the American Health Lawyers Association, as part of its public education mission.

The video is organized into seven segments. In this chapter, we see our fictional family make a healthcare decision for their incapacitated mother. While their is resolution in our little play, the lawyers' discussion is focused on what happens if there is no advance directive and the family members cannot agree on what to do.
