If I sign an Advance Directive how am I protected from a misjudgment by a physician?

Oklahoma law requires that both your attending physician and another physician who has examined you determine that you are incapable of making an informed decision regarding your health care, including the provision, withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining treat­ment. This determination has to become part of your medical record.
