Even if you were critical you have to wait till the nurse gets to carry out the Md's orders. My ex-wife is an ER doctor. She complains frequently about this. When I was in the CCU I used simple lanquage. The only complaint I heard was from my nurse who said it would be unfair to the other patients if they died. I can live with that. Whether you like it or not the hospital chaplain is going to be your best means for communicating your wishes. Remember the latter it is important. Your future depends on it. J.C.
