Meine Patientenverfügung

The advance directive is an important planning document. It allows you to specify your treatment wishes in case you are unable to express them as a patient. The guide from Stiftung Warentest is aimed at anyone who wants to delve deeply into the topic, especially those who are already seriously ill or facing major surgery. It provides a detailed guide for the corresponding form, which can be filled out online. Interviews with doctors, lawyers, and relatives highlight what is important in practice and help make crucial decisions for or against certain treatments. Other focal points in the book include the possibilities and limitations of assisted dying, as well as the medical and legal background regarding organ donation. With an advance directive, you not only relieve yourself and your loved ones but also create clarity for your treating physicians.
