Discover the useful service My medical choice
My Medical Choice is a medical alert system designed to keep its members safe from ALL unwanted medical treatments and procedures, including blood transfusions and vaccinations, even when unconscious.
Patients are frequently forced to make medical decisions without knowing their rights or when they are in a vulnerable situation. Relatives are informed too late that hospitals perform procedures on their elderly or seriously ill loved ones without their consent. It is unethical and unjust, especially given that medical malpractice is a leading cause of death.
People need protection and guidance on how to avoid medical malpractice, but they don't know where to look. My Medical Choice was created specifically to meet this need. Its founding member Nicola Smith contacted me to inform me that my articles have been helpful for this service. I interviewed her so she could tell us what motivated her to start it.

My Medical Choice provides members with a support package of documents, the ‘Pre-op Consultation Pack’, to help them get the best healthcare options for their needs at surgical consultations. Members also have access to educational material and a reference ‘library’ to draw from in order to support their healthcare choices.
Anyone who has a Lasting Power of Attorney for healthcare/welfare can upload the document to their personal account page for access by medical staff in an emergency, or create a new one using the information on their account page.
All of this is offered just for just £25 per year, but because you're one of my readers, you can save £5 on your first year's membership with the code GENP20.
*At the moment, it is only available to residents of the United Kingdom. Such services are unquestionably necessary, and I sincerely hope that they will be made available in other countries.
