An Advance Medical Directive allows you to state what you want for your own medical care if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. You can: Direct that a specific procedure or treatment be provided, such as artificially administered hydration (fluids) or nutrition (feeding); Direct that a specific procedure or treatment be withheld; or Appoint a person to act as your agent in making health care decisions for you, if it is determined that you are unable to make health care decisions for yourself. This includes the decision to make anatomical gifts of a specific part or parts of your body via organ and tissue donation, or of all of your body. If you appoint a person to be your agent in an Advance Medical Directive, that person has decision-making priority over any other individuals who, could, by law, make health care decisions for you. The Code of Virginia also contains the "suggested" text that can be used for an Advance Medical Directive form in Virginia. Advance Medical Directive forms can be completed without the assistance of a lawyer. "Virginas Advance Medical Directive"
