For those of you who have attended a Catholic Church in Wisconsin recently, information was handed out about POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). This is not something that is common in Wisconsin except possibly in the Rhinelander and LaCrosse areas. The Bishops (all five) in Wisconsin have stated they are opposed to the POLST form and its use. It is important to know that the POLST is not the same as a Health Care Power of Attorney we use in Wisconsin. It is not the same as a Declaration to Physicians form used in Wisconsin. The POLST is a form promoted by a coalition that states its intent is to improve the quality of care people receive at the end of their life. (Sounds good, doesn't it.) The Bishops issued a pastoral statement in July 25. Basically, they are concerned about euthanasia among many other things. There is an article by Steve Wideman "For the Compass" that explains in more detail. The jist of it is the church wants you to have a person (a health care agent) make health care decisions for you. (Common sense - don't you think.) I would rather have a family member or friend I trust making decisions for me based upon my current health issues, instead of checking some blocks on a form and letting doctors decide without any input from my family and friends. So I can honestly say I agree with the Bishops, get a health care power of attorney.

For those who are going on vacation without their children (or want to) there is a fairly new power of attorney to give another adult permission to stand in your place legal while you are gone. Kids get sick; they can talk to the doctor and get non-emergency care. Kids need to start school; they can sign them up. Wisconsin only.

I was thinking about disorderly conduct today. Last week we recycled 123 cubic feet of old law books. I kept one book of case law. It is the book that has the case in it that says swearing in front of cops is not disorderly conduct. A longtime ago in Wisconsin a guy was stopped by the police. He started swearing. So the officers arrested him for disorderly conduct. They did not and would not have charged him with anything else if he had not started swearing. The Wisconsin Supreme Court said basically you can swear as much as you want once you are stopped by the police and it is not disorderly. BUT I am not recommending you call police officers swear names. However, if you should happen let loose with a Sh when you are pulled over for speeding they can not add disorderly conduct to your ticket.

I have heard a lot of concerns about the Supreme Court not overturning the Health Care Reform Act. The Act does make a lot of changes. What will be a good change for one person may be bad for another and visa versa, but one thing it will not do is get rid of Medicare.

6 hours, lots of help from Jeff and Jake, and two desks, two Hutches, and a lateral file cabinet are in place. Time to put the feet up.
