Review of <it>Planning for uncertainty: living wills and other advance directives for you and your family</it>, 2nd edition by David John Doukas, M.D., and William Reichel, M.D

Abstract

Abstract Advance directives are useful ways to express one's wishes about end of life care, but even now most people have not completed one of the documents. David Doukas and William Reichel strongly encourage planning for end of life care. Although Planning for Uncertainty is at times fairly abstract for the general reader, it does provide useful background and practical steps.
