Neil Winger, a primary care doctor affiliated with the UCLA Health Ethics Center, discusses advance directives. An advance directive is a legal document that outlines the medical preferences of individuals who are unable to make decisions for themselves due to severe illness or incapacitation. In ideal situations, doctors and patients engage in shared decision-making to ensure treatments align with the patients' wishes. However, in emergencies where patients cannot communicate, it is crucial to designate someone—like a spouse, sibling, or friend—to make decisions on their behalf. Advance directives ensure that these preferences are honored, even when direct communication is impossible.
