[QUOTE="keista, post: 453053, member: 11965"] Now that I'm awake, I'm kind of annoyed. She signed a DNR EVERY time she had gone into the hospital and I'm pretty sure she had a DNR on file with the assisted living facility. Apparently a patient has to sign a NEW DNR EVERY time they go into the hospital, so the one from the last stay (and previous stays) didn't count. And apparently if you call an ambulance for someone who has a DNR, the fact that you called an ambulance overrides a DNR and they MUST attempt to resuscitate. So, ultimately, what's the point? So now I'm wondering how long I should wait to see if I hear anything. Obviously she took me off of her Medical POA stuff, but last I know I was cosigner on her lease (this was REQUIRED) and I don't know if she was able to change that since I was the only local contact. So I have to take care of that If I still am. Are funeral homes covered by HIPPA laws? Will they let me know if they've received her yet? I really don't want/need to deal with more of this family's ****. [/QUOTE]
