Loving Conversations - Selecting Your Decision Maker (Chapter 3)

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. This chapter offers a flashback to a conversation between the parents, in which they discuss their healthcare wishes if they have an irreversible condition and how their three children would respond in such a situation. The lawyers' discussion during the didactic portion focuses on the issues one should consider when selecting a healthcare decision maker.
