Hardly a doctor / hospital these days that would withhold care under this situation, even with advanced directives in place. If the patient is communicative such directives do not go into effect.

... there is also the soap-opera case of someone wanting to "put someone out of their misery" when they are not really all that miserable....

"I'm not dead!"

"I'm feeling much better!"
