Advanced Directives
Every adult of sound mind has the right to decide what may be done to his or her body in the course of medical treatment. As a patient, you have the right to be told about the nature of your condition, the general nature of the proposed treatment, the risks of failing to undergo the treatment and alternate procedures available.
This information helps you make an informed and rational decision about accepting or declining a proposed course of treatment. Your physician will discuss with you the risks and benefits associated with medical procedures identified under state law.
