Your doctor and any other health care provider must inform you if they can’t, in good conscience, follow your wishes or if the policies of the institution prevent them from honoring those wishes.
If you’re unable to make your own healthcare decisions when you’re admitted for medical care and have named someone in your living will to make decisions for you, that person must be informed if the wishes contained in your living will can’t be honored. If you haven’t named anyone in your living will, your family, guardian or other representative must be informed that your living will can’t be honored.
The doctor or other health care provider who can’t honor your wishes must then help transfer you to another health care provider willing to carry out your directions
