Re: "...I am a NYC paramedic, and member of the Editorial Board of Emergency Medical Services Magazine. I am curently in the process of researching an article that I am writing on the topic of pre-hospital DNR's and advance directives in general. I was wondering if you can recommend any texts that can provide good examples of case law as it relates to this topic?..."
Try the following Web sites:

Also, contact the NYS Task Force on Life and the Law through the NYS Department of Health and try to get a copy of: "Life-Sustaining Treatment:
Making Decisions and Appointing a Health Care Agent" .
Hope that helps.
