Relatives often wrong about patients' wishes | Chicago Tribune

Relatives often wrong about patients' wishes | Chicago Tribune: "Don't assume you know what a loved one might want if he or she became incapacitated. There's a good chance you could be wrong. This humbling point is driven home by two recent studies examining end-of-life decision-making."
What scares me is that if relatives could be wrong, how much wronger could the doctor be ? This is why I don't think doctors should make decisions for patients, even if they think they are in "the patient's best interests" !
