Subject: MOFT or MLFT paperwork associated with "end-of-life care"

I am not absolutely sure about the M (could be N) or O (could be L), but I know it is an accronym as he says:


"discuss end-of-life care and capital M, capital O, capital F, capital T paperwork."


I cannot figure out what kind of form this is or what the accronym stands for. He says it so quick I am not even sure I have the right letters!

Caesarean section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caesarian section)
Jump to: navigation, search
A caesarean section (AE cesarean section), or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life at risk, although in the last decade it has been performed upon request.
