Tucson Plastic Surgeon Raad Taki MD
Excellence in Plastic Surgery
In acting under this power, I want my agent to give great weight to the following statements: I am in favor of trial treatment -that means I want all necessary medical care to treat my condition until, and only until my doctors and my agent reasonably decide that I am in an irreversible state. If following the guidelines stated above, my doctors and my agent decide that further medical care is inappropriate:
I want only comfort care and I do not want to undergo artificial administration of food or fluids. I do not want to be resuscitated in case I stop breathing or my heart stops beating.
If my doctors and my agent reasonably decide that I have a terminal illness, I want all decisions concerning my medical and surgical care to be made in light of the expected length and quality of life which would result from such care and the predictable effects on me of undergoing treatment if I cannot be expected to have a significant period of conscious life even after medical or surgical care, then I want comfort care only.
This combined health care directive is made under ars 36-3221 and 36-3261 , Arizona Revised Statutes. It continues in effect for all who may rely on it, except those to whom I have given notice of its revocation.
