[QUOTE="keista, post: 453305, member: 11965"] Yes Hound. Once you posted I remembered that she DID have that DNR card, but I guess it was in her wallet. And although the assisted living facility asks to have a copy for their records, THEY do not honor it. They call 911 and start resuscitation, and have the paperwork ready for the EMTs. In FL if the EMTs are called, even if there is a DNR they can decide to continue resuscitation. At this point when she got transported I guess none of her paperwork was transported with her. Even if it was, I don't think it would have done much good at the hospital because EVERY TIME she was admitted, they gave her "the hospital's" DNR form. It just seems that NO ONE wants to follow the written order they STILL want an immediate family member to make the call.
