I didn't say they can do anything they want. I said they will do what they think is correct, based on their assessment of the patient's condition and needs. When you are in a hospital, the doctors have a lot more flexibility than what is written on a piece of paper. In most cases, a living will protects the hospital more than it protects the patient.
