LIVING WILL AND MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY...

What they are...

A "living will" (or "advance directive" as it is called in Texas) is a legal document in which you can let people know your wishes about medical treatment at some point in the future, in the event that your condition prevents you from letting them know at the time of your injury or illness. 

A "medical power of attorney" allows you to designate an agent to make health care decisions on your behalf, in the event you are unable to do so.
