Living Wills In Kentucky
If you become unconscious or too ill to communicate your own medical care decisions then the staff will follow your living will, which gives you a voice in the type of treatment you want. As long as you are able to express your own decisions, your living will cannot be used and you can verbally refuse or accept any medical treatment you want. If you lose your ability the participate in your own medical treatment decisions, and you don’t have a Living Will, then you have no say in the type of treatment you will get.
