(755 ILCS 35/4) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 704)
Sec. 4.
Recording of a Terminal Condition.
Upon determining
that the declarant has a terminal condition, the attending physician who
knows of a declaration shall record the determination and the terms of the
declaration in the declarant's medical record. A physician who records in
writing a terminal condition under this Section is presumed to be acting in
good faith. Unless it is alleged and proved that his action violated the
standard of reasonable professional care and judgment under the
circumstances, he is immune from civil or criminal liability that otherwise
might be incurred.
