Bright answers to dim questions on marriage & healthcare
Ever wonder what to say when some ‘helpful’ person asks awkward questions like
“When are you going to get married?”
“Don’t you want kids?”
“Aren’t you worried about who will make medical decisions for you?”
AtMP members have come up with lots of fun, creative retorts, including
“When are you going to get divorced?”
“Why do you have kids?”
“Of course I’m not worried, I’ve written my advance directives! Have you?”
Here’s the truth about healthcare decision making: you can handle it. You already have an equal right to name a proxy – someone to speak for you if you can’t speak for yourself. You don’t have to be in a relationship or get married to have peace of mind about decision making in medical emergencies. And it’s free!
