Advanced Medical Directive
An Advanced Medical Directive is a medical guideline which pertains to treatment preferences, including the designation of a surrogate decision-maker in the event that a patient should become unable to make medical decisions on their own behalf. These generally fall into three categories: living will, power of attorney, and health care proxy.
