Somehow we got on the subject of DNRs and she explained their policy/reasoning to me. Basically, if a patient w/ a DNR "coded" and a family member was yelling to save them, they would.
- JshWright 13y agoThat's really lousy of them... A patient's wishes supersedes those of their family, when it comes to their care and end of life decisions. That really lousy of the families... of the providers... of everyone all around, really. I would absolutely refuse to participate in resuscitation efforts in that situation. I'm hopeful that if that situation actually came up, they would decide differently (and that this was just a hypothetical conversation)
