EAST LANSING, Mich., March 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The tragic Terri Schiavo case clearly points out the need for all people aged 18 and above to complete a simple advance medical directive to appoint someone to make health care decisions for them if they become ill and cannot make decisions themselves. The only form of advance medical directive that is recognized by state statute in Michigan is a durable power of attorney for health care. Living wills are not recognized by state law. By completing a durable power of attorney for health care form, a patient's desire to accept or refuse medical treatment is honored if the patient is unable to participate in medical treatment decisions.

Palliative care and Hospice care are related. All Hospice care is palliative care and is focused on terminally ill patients who can no longer be cured medically and are expected to live six months or less. This differs from palliative care, which can be provided any time during a serious or life-threatening illness. Most palliative care consultants practice in the hospital but many believe this specialty will expand into home care and outpatient sites. Margaret "Meg " [Margaret L. Campbell] is administrative director of palliative & clinical ethics at Detroit Receiving Hospital, associate director for research at the Center to Advance Palliative Care Excellence, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University, School of Medicine. She will host a free book signing meet ...

A quiet revolution is stirring in the country, and Taos County is an important reflection of this grassroots resurgence that is bringing together old-line Democrats and new Progressives. In just a few short weeks, what looked like a familiar, but bumpy road of political in-fighting in Taos turned into a free-flowing highway. This new brand of Democrat may spell trouble for candidates who still rely on old-style party politics that may be obsolete. Former Taos County Central Committee Chairman Billy Knight's success in bringing 65 percent of the county's registered Democrats to polls in the November 2005 election re-ignited the interest of old-line, "padrone" Democrats and energized the new Progressives who are more focused on national issues, such as the war in Iraq and health care. Whe...

Don't forget you're aging too, so just take a moment to think about your parents' experiences. Consider how their bodies are aging, the age prejudice they encounter, the anticipation of illness or incapacity, the possible discovery of cancer, the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and embarrassment of moving slowly or experiencing incontinence. Secure Legal documents: Be sure your parents have an updated and valid will which ensures that their assets will be allocated according to their wishes. In addition, your parent should have a durable power of attorney which allows a designated person to make legally binding decisions for your parent, from signing checks to making housing choices, should they become incapacitated. Your parent should also have advance directives such as a living will...
