[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 453174, member: 84"] FYI on a DNR If the person who has the DNR does not carry a card stating they have one, medics will resuscitate. A DNR card can be given by any fam doctor. I know this both from nursing school, and the all out war I had with her pompous fam doctor who swore she didn't need one because he headed the medics in town and he'd just tell them. Uh, no. Doesn't work that way. Have to have the card or the actual written paperwork in hand. (we found out in a pinch that works too) No patient has to redo paperwork for a DNR. That paperwork should stay with the patient, along with the card and living will. I"m sorry she didn't make it. I guess that makes this moot, but it's still a good thing to know. Hugs [/QUOTE]
