Substitute Decision Maker

1 min read

These are people who are able to make medical decisions for you in cases where you are unable to.

Priorities

  1. Appointed SDM (You explicitly write who your SDMs are)
  2. Spouse/Partner
  3. Child or parent
  4. Siblings
  5. Other relatives
  6. Public Guardian

Issues

  • The guardian may seek to benefit from the patients condition
  • The guardian may not be the best choice
  • May be too many guardians and too difficult to seek approval
