Already have my HC-POA redrafted with people who will support that change in my medical care. Copies with doctor, clinic, my proxy representatives, and hospital. Make sure the hospital/clinic are up to date by calling and asking what they have on file for you before an emergency.
Find out too what your clinic/hospital supports as to treatment in that area. Such as storing your own blood ahead of time, family and friends being able to donate for you, etc.
When you see your doctor, make sure your file is properly notated too.
I have found that saying I would when I had not previously opened up a lively conversation with nurses and doctors so if you have any printed information bring it with you..........witnessing in reverse.
