I have been having telephone appointments with my doctors since covid became a thing. The only time I have had to go in was for a physical and blood work. It has been great. And, my insurance waives all co-pays for them.
Many years ago, I was told my then fiance was not going to make it and they were not going to try. I insisted on them doing everything in their power. No DNR so they complied (I had POA). 20 years later, we are still here, and married. I would never have any sort of DNR for him or myself.

That....is an amazing story. And, what great timing, with tomorrow being Valentine’s Day!
You’ve been blessed beyond measure....you listened to your own heart and gut.
Agree about the NO DNR, and...having a POA.
We’ve also been doing primarily tele appointments....only because they’re so much more convenient.
Thanks for sharing that *sweet* story.
I'm a DNR...So if I've some terminal DZ...I don't want CPR done on me.
Coded a guy a few weeks ago,,,he was 94 yrs old. We worked on him for 20-25 mins...Crushed his chest...caused a collapsed lung. The guy had no chance....at 94.
I've personally heard sternum and ribs break while doing compressions...
I need to write a book...on the things I've seen and done. Would be funny and some sad.............
