DIRECTIVE TO PHYSICIANS AND FAMILY OR SURROGATES

I recently had the initial physical exam for Medicare. My doctor asked me if I had a physician's directive to add to my file, and I told him it was in progress. Today it is finished, along with a will, medical power of attorney and durable power of attorney. The doctor commented that I was the first person who had ever  said that these documents were in the works, much less that they were complete. Boomers, do you think you will live forever?
