That’s what they are obligated to do without a DNR.
I am sorry that happened to you. Survival from in the field is less than 10%.
Yes. Agreed!
So, doc wants a paycheck but doesn’t want to be bothered with actually working on his patient.
Lets break grandmas 100 year old ribs during CPR to save her. I don’t know all what this article is talking about, but I do know DNRs have a place in modern medicine for people who are terminal, etc.

And your little dog, too!
A reminder that DNRs are about much more than CPR.
Below is a link to a research paper showing the hospital used a DNR to let a patient die of a drug overdose that was a hospital’s error.
This wasn’t chest compressions, electrical defibrillation or mechanical intervention; it was a shot. (naloxone is effective for 30-90 minutes, multiple shots are often given)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5378545/- “The discontinuation order for morphine was not transcribed and the patient was administered both the morphine and hydromorphone for 3 days. She was found unresponsive, with a low respiratory rate. The orders were then reviewed, and the error was detected. The opioids were held and opioid toxicity was treated with 1 dose of naloxone (0.2 mg intravenously). The patient’s vital signs normalized after the administration of naloxone. An hour later, the patient was found unresponsive with a low respiratory rate. because there was a “do not resuscitate” (DNR) order in place, no resuscitation was started. Opioid toxicity was deemed to have caused death.”
There is a criteria that determines whether or not a person is revivable.
This is a good thing because it removes Doctors from deciding themselves and following the set standards.
You Father’s wife should have been given a better place to wait where the sounds of attempted resuscitating your Father couldn’t be heard.
I think Covid is over and the continued posting of Vaccine/Covid fear Porn reveals more of an obsession than true facts.
Good point…why is the Government rolling out new emergency authorized jabs? Why is South Korea reporting record high COVID-19 cases? Do you think they are trying to keep us in a state of panic? Are we being manipulated?
“If I’m sick enough to die, it may be my time. In that case I would sign a DNR”
A lot of medical conditions are fatal if not treated.
The US government’s medical community death squads created by the Obozo and written into the Affordable Health Care Act are obviously in secret full operation. You think maybe those federal officials and those who serve them who pushed the ACA death squads knew a deadly pandemic was coming? DUH!!
My wife died a year ago yesterday, at home. She had gone into nonresponsive seizures beginning on Christmas day, because of hyperammonia, a result of liver failure, after years of MS and other disorders. The previous seizure occurred on our anniversary, Feb 4, and she was in the hospital for five weeks, ICU, ward, then rehab. When she finally got home, she signed a DNR, and begged us not to let the medicals take her to the hospital again. We could see the seizure coming, and had to watch her die, but it would have happened at some point even if there had been another incident. It was best for her, and I am content with where she is. That is what DNR is intended for, and should not be used to wipe out the “unnecessary population.”
Exactly. Sorry to hear of your loss.
A no answer doesn't mean you're automatically made to have one and you can voluntarily ask to have “DNR’’ put on your chart. In other countries, with socialized medicine things are different apparently but it's not like that here. Honest to God these ''journalists'' ought to do some real research once and a while.

So sorry for your loss.
My dad was 25 minutes dead when the ambulance picked him up, and the ER physician kept the CPR going. It was almost like the quack enjoyed beating and bruising, even cracking a few ribs on a defenseless frail old man, while his wife is hearing all this from the adjacent curtained bay.
