I will NEVER sign a DNR.

I will ALWAYS request food and water.

I will insist on minimum pain relief.

I'm a 16 yr. cancer survivor and have already been there.

I prefer to do all of my suffering this side of the veil.

In the saga, the Dad had a DNR and there was a paragraph around withholding fluids as "life sustaining treatment."

The doctors basically said the patient is a sack of meat and it's more "humane" to recognize that he had a good life and let him go...by doing a Terri Schaivo.

Having very clear documents AND PHILOSOPHICALLY ALIGNED FAMILY MEMBERS in power, seems the best move.

Ping to Sam, who always has great thoughts on weighty matters.

“I will NEVER sign a DNR.”

After my last hospital experience I told the medical staff to just tatoo “full code’ on my forehead instead of pestering my relatives as to whether treatment should be stopped lol.
