Sorry, I’m sure that patient signed the DNR before they go into an end life facility. You can’t go against their final wishes. This was like this before Obamacare

But 911 was called. Does that not in effect override a DNR?
When I was taking care of my terminally ill mother, hospice nurses told me specifically to NOT call an ambulance or they would be obligated to try revive her.

The incident unfolded on Tuesday when 87-year-old Lorraine Bayless collapsed at Glenwood Gardens, a senior living facility in Bakersfield.It doesn't sound like it was an end life facility. I am not knowledgeable about this sort of thing. Did I miss something?

There's nothing in the article indicating that any DNR was in effect or that this was an end-of-life facility. Had the patient signed a DNR order, the nurse could have just informed the dispatcher of that fact and avoided all this.
