I have had several family members in and out of the hospital in the past year. As you can imagine, my family has had a lot of emotional talks about Living Wills. What should be documented? Does the family know and respect my wishes? Who is my advocate? Do I have all my papers up to date? When this subject came up again recently, I mentioned that I had selected a Healthcare Agent and was greeted with a blank look. They didn’t know what a Healthcare Agent was. Do you? This made me wonder how many of you are prepared.

First, let me help you understand why you should be prepared. I asked Attorney Sharon Giese of Norwalk, CT, why everyone needs a Living Will. She responded by giving me a list of people whose medical cases made national news:

TERRY SCHIAVO, date of birth 12/3/63. In a “persistent vegetative state” hooked up to tubes from the age of 27 until March 2005, when she was allowed to die at the age of 42.

]]>

NANCY CRUZAN, date of birth 7/30/57. In a “persistent vegetative state” hooked up to tubes from the age of 30 until 1990, when she was allowed to die at the age of 33.

KAREN ANN QUINLAN, date of birth 3/29/54. In a “persistent vegetative state” from the age of 21 until 1976. She remained in a coma until she died in 1985 at the age of 32.

If, from disease or accident, you are in a “persistent vegetative state” (meaning you cannot communicate, dance, walk, run, eat, bathe, clothe yourself, etc.), Connecticut law allows you to determine whether you want to remain in that condition. Each state has its own laws, so you need to know the laws in your home state or any state that you visit frequently.

If you do not want tubes inserted in you to allow your body to continue to live without “living,” or, if you want all help possible for your body to continue to live, it is very important that, at least, you communicate this to your family and friends. But, the best thing to do is to prepare a Living Will, and appoint a Health Care Representative who will have the authority to communicate your wishes to the necessary people. This not only protects you, but spares your family from having to make the hard decisions themselves. They may remember what you said when you were healthy, but they may begin to question whether you really meant it when the decision is in their hands.

Whether you choose to live in a vegetative state or not, make sure that it’s your choice, and not the choice of the courts and people who do not know you or your wishes.

Jordan Frankel, the Founder and Executive Vice President of Global Security Experts Inc. (GSE), the nation’s leading manufacturer of proprietary security solutions for homeowners and businesses, begins a new chapter in his career. A security expert, product inventor and published author, Mr. Frankel now offers customized, one-on-one training and private seminars for families and neighborhood associations that can benefit from this proven brand of crime prevention.  These exclusive, private seminars typically accommodate up to 50 people per meeting. By partnering with neighborhood associations across the US, access to Mr. Frankel and his brand of security prevention is very affordable, costing as little as $3,500 per day. This fee represents significant savings, considering the fact that private corporations worldwide pay up to $20,000 per day for Mr. Frankel’s security recommendations and services.

With twenty-plus years as a both protégée and mentor, Mr. Frankel is known throughout the crime prevention industry as the Security Sensei. His proven yet somewhat unorthodox approach to outsmarting the proverbial bad guys is the reason both law enforcement, home owners and the media turn to Mr. Frankel for certified techniques to combat today’s rash of violent home invasions and burglaries. Mr. Frankel`s clients include the American Stock Exchange, Department of Defense, Boeing, Best Buy, the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center and the U.S. military.

Over the years Mr. Frankel was often granted unprecedented access to home invasion and burglary victims, allowing him to interview both the families and law enforcement immediately following the crime. This is crucial on many fronts. First, reviewing the “Point of Penetration” (POP) zone before the damaged door and deadbolt are repaired is essential in preventing the same type of forced entry in the future. And secondly, meeting with family members allows Mr. Frankel to offer expert security advice as to affordable security upgrades and better overall security preparation.

]]>

Mr. Frankel is also a published author and security products inventor. His most recent invention, the patented OnGARDâ„¢ security/door brace, is the result of 5 years of exhaustive testing, a major undertaking designed to prevent the national epidemic of home invasions and burglaries.

Additionally, Mr. Frankel is a frequent media guest and author for top industry publications like Security Management Magazine, SecurityInfoWatch.com and The International Association of Counterterrorism and Security Professionals Magazine.  Many of Mr. Frankel’s security products, including his glass protection film, enjoy national exposure on television programs hosted by Oprah Winfrey and Rachel Ray. In fact, Mr. Frankel is the founder of one the largest privately held glass protection firms in the United States, the subject of favorable print and electronic profiles in many business outlets.

Mr. Frankel states: “My passion for security is a lifelong pursuit, honed by extensive experience around the world. Here in the States, I know that homeowners – through no fault of their own – are vulnerable to attack from common criminals, home invaders and robbers. That’s why I’ve turned my attention to helping homeowners because the only recourse these people currently have is to buy costly but ineffective ’security’ products or hope tragedy doesn’t strike. The only way to improve this situation is if I devote my time – and I am doing just that -sitting down with neighborhood associations and offering them the years of exclusive knowledge I possess.”

Mr. Frankel is now available to help homeowners with the following security issues:

Home Security Inspections: Private security consultations for homeowners and renters with limited budgets.

Customized one-on-one training and seminars with families, neighborhood associations and builders, to implement security solutions and procedures.

Design and construction of affordable, certified safe rooms (“The Safe-Spaceâ„¢”), converting ordinary walk-in closets or spaces into protected havens from robberies and home invasions.

Jeffrey Dingle, a federal law enforcement trainer, Certified Protection Professional and former Director of Protective Operations for the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta, says: “Having worked with Mr. Frankel for more than 15 years, I can attest to his reputation as an innovator in the security industry.  Mr. Frankel continues to research, innovate and offer affordable residential security solutions to families worldwide. GSE`s new  ‘Security for Everyone’ program is something only Mr. Frankel can offer, because he has the credibility – and proventrack record – to create a Home Security Makeover that is original, affordable and practical.Mr. Frankel also has an inherently creative approach to personal security, which is responsible for the numerous patents he receives for his products as well as the acclaim he enjoys from media worldwide.”
