It happens more often than you know.  A loved one is in an accident or becomes ill to the point where they are incapacitated and unable to make their own health care decisions.  Family members are then left to make those decisions for their loved one, but the family members disagree.  The family, who is already reeling from their loved one being hospitalized and in critical condition, then is forced to take their family dispute to a judge to resolve.  Even after the judge rules, however, the hurt feelings and emotions follow the family and impact their family relationships for quite some time.
