health care directive

Read a random definition: free socage

A quick definition of health care directive:

A health care directive is a legal paper that tells doctors and family members how to take care of someone if they get very sick or can't make decisions for themselves. It says what kind of medical treatment the person wants or doesn't want, like if they want to be resuscitated or not. It's also called a living will or advance directive.

A more thorough explanation:

A health care directive is a legal document that outlines a person's wishes for medical care in case they become unable to make decisions for themselves. It can also be called a living will, advance directive, or directive to physicians.

For example, if someone has a health care directive and they become unconscious, the document can guide doctors and family members on what medical treatments the person would want or not want. This can include decisions about life support, resuscitation, and end-of-life care.

Having a health care directive can give peace of mind to both the person creating it and their loved ones, as it ensures that their wishes are respected and followed in case of an emergency or incapacity.

Anybody know what a Yale II implies? I got one yesterday, but the conversion rate seems low.
splitterus i don't think so but at this rate who knows
yale ii is notoriously kinda random, there's rumors that because of higher applicant volume it might actually mean something this cycle tho. idk how valid that is
who knows anything jackfrost

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure
