Good start. It would still be worth it to have multiple copies.
But if you end up in a non VA hospital how would that directive follow you? Do non Va hospitals have protocol to find such directives from the VA?
It's my directive, not the VA's. And Boss Lady knows how to get it PDQ.
ETA: My Medicare Dr. (and her cohorts) knows all the above and can request the directive be sent to any facility I'm in if needed.
