| Living Will Author Featured in Medical Journal |
|
The June issue of Emergency Physician’s Monthly features an interview with Dr. Fred Mirarchi, author of Understanding Your Living Will. The article discusses the way in which living wills are sometimes misinterpreted by medical staff.
Dr. Mirarchi is also co-author of an article "Does a Living Will Equal a DNR? Are Living Wills Compromising Patient Safety?" published in The Journal of Emergency Medicine. The journal article was a case study of three cases from different parts of the country. It described what happened when patients went to an emergency room with an acute illness and a living will. In each case, the living will was misinterpreted as a "Do No Resuscitate" order, resulting in a change in how care was delivered. |
