Hospitals are asking if I have one. I don't, so I'm in the process of filling one out.

I'm looking for wording that explicitly spells out my wishes and intent. My decision maker, Mrs. Auggie, is cool with what I want, but my bigger concern is any pain-in-the-ass do-gooders, clergy, or administrators that may think they know better.

Me? Stage 3 cancer, operable, but you never know what can happen in an operating room or under anesthesia. If something does occur that renders me helpless, unable to communicate, etc., or become a burden (long-term nursing, feeding tube, breathing machine) I want it known to pull every damn plug and tube and let me die.

Thanks.
