I will never have a DNR. If my husband had had one, he would not be alive today. There was one bad day and he started to get better. I actually got a call to go say “good-bye”. I instructed the hospital to never allow that quack doctor near him again. My husband or my son can decide better than anyone else if I should be helped or not. This happened about 15 years or so ago and it still gives me nightmares.
I have a form I do need to fill out with my wishes on some things but it will all be for life support unless my family deems it hopeless.
I’m with you.
When the brain waves go flat, then it is appropriate to pull the life support. Not before then.
The fact that this young woman is still fighting after removal of the life support makes me suspect that the life support was pulled too soon. As long as she keeps fighting, it is entirely appropriate to do whatever it takes to help her heal. Otherwise, if she dies, it is murder by medical neglect.
Thank you for the warning .
