预先指令

你决定医疗的权利

This section explains your right to make healthcare decisions and how you can plan what should be done if you can't speak for yourself.

谁决定我的治疗?
你的医生会给你有关治疗的信息和建议. 你有选择的权利. 你可以对你想要的治疗说“是”. You can say "No" to any treatment you don't want - even if the treatment might keep you alive longer.

我怎么知道我想要什么?
Your doctor must tell you about your medical condition and about what different treatments can do for you. 许多治疗都有“副作用”." Your doctor must offer you information about serious problems that medical treatment is likely to cause you. Often, more than one treatment might help you - and people have different ideas about which is best. Your doctor can tell you which treatments are available to you, but your doctor can't choose for you. 这个选择取决于什么对你来说是重要的.

要是我病得决定不了怎么办?
如果你不能做出治疗决定, your doctor will ask your closest available relative or friend to help decide what is best for you. 偶尔会有关于采取何种措施的分歧. That's why it is helpful if you say in advance what you want to happen if you can't speak for yourself. There are several "advance directives" you can use to indicate preferences or designate who you'd like to speak on your behalf. One kind of advance directive under California law lets you name someone to make healthcare decisions when you can't. 这种形式被称为预先健康护理指示.

谁能填这张表?
如果你年满18岁且心智健全，就可以. 你不需要律师来填写.

当我不能做医疗决定时，我可以委托谁来做?
You can choose an adult relative or friend you trust as your "agent" to speak for you if you're too sick to make your own decisions.

这个人怎么知道我想要什么?
在你选择了一个人之后，和那个人谈谈你想要什么. You can also write down in the "Advance Health Care Directive" when you would or wouldn't want medical treatment. Talk to your doctor about what you want and give your doctor a copy of the form. 再给你指定的代理人一份. And take a copy with you when you go into a hospital or other treatment facility. Sometimes treatment decisions are hard to make and it truly helps your family and your doctor if they know what you want. The "Advance Health Care Directive" also gives them legal protection when they follow your wishes.

如果没有人帮我做决定怎么办?
You can use another kind of advance directive to write down your wishes about treatment. This is often called a "Living Will" because it takes effect while you are still alive but have become unable to speak for yourself. "The California Natural Death Act" lets you sign a living will, called a Declaration. 任何年满18岁且心智健全的人都可以签署. When you sign a Declaration it tells your doctors that you don't want any treatment that would only prolong your dying. All life-sustaining treatment would be stopped if you were terminally ill and your death was expected soon, 或者如果你永远失去知觉. 你仍然会接受治疗，让你感到舒适.

医生必须按照你的意愿限制治疗, 或者把你的护理交给另一个会照顾你的医生. 当你的医生按照你的意愿行事时，他们也受到法律保护.

我还可以使用其他生前遗嘱吗?
而不是使用《皇冠hga025自然死亡法案》中的声明,“你可以使用任何现有的生前遗嘱形式. 您可以使用“预先保健指示”而不指定代理人. 或者你可以把你的愿望写在一张纸上. Your doctors and family can use what you write in deciding about your treatment. But living wills that don't meet the requirements of "The California Natural Death Act" don't give as much legal protection for your doctors if a disagreement arises about following your wishes.

如果我改变主意了怎么办?
You can change or revoke any of these documents at any time as long as you can communicate your wishes.

我必须填写这些表格吗?
不，如果你不想填写这些表格，你可以不填写. You can just talk with your doctors and ask them to write down what you've said in your medical chart. 你可以和你的家人聊天. 但如果你写下来，人们会更清楚你的治疗愿望. 如果你把你的愿望写下来，你的愿望更有可能被实现.

如果我不填这些表格，我还会受到待遇吗?
绝对. 你仍会接受治疗. 我们只是想让你知道，如果你病得无法做决定, 别人会帮你做的. 记住:

An "Advance Health Care Directive" lets you name someone of your choice to make treatment decisions for you. That person can make most medical decisions - not just those about life-sustaining treatment when you are unable to speak for yourself. 除了指定代理人, you can also use the form to say when you would and wouldn't want particular kinds of treatment. 如果在你不能做决定的时候，没有一个你想点名的人来帮你做决定, 你可以签署一份"自然死亡法案声明." This Declaration says that you do not want life-prolonging treatment if you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious.

我怎样才能得到更多关于预先指示的信息?
向你的医生、护士或社工询问更多的信息. 如果你对填写预嘱表格有任何疑问, 或者如果你需要预先指示表格, 您可以联系患者体验办公室，电话: 310-267-9113 . You may also ask for additional written material titled "Making an 预先指令." This detailed brochure is very helpful to anyone who wants to prepare an advance directive.
