I'm very confused about this situation, and it has to do with either the laws of Florida or the administrative quirks of this particular hospital.

It stands to reason that only one person would have the Medical Power of Attorney ("Advanced Health Care Directive") to designate, "Do Not Resuscitate", but it appears that Alice was denied this right because she wasn't the eldest sibling.
If that is the case, then why would she be the one to sign the DNR?

I've never heard of anyone being forced to sign a DNR!
That is utterly ridiculous!

I know I've learned in the past few months that I would rather go to the hospital in Timbuktu than Florida!

Dear Lord, please watch over this woman.
Evil forces are at work, dear Father, and we ask your help in driving them out.
Please be with the family as they act as your tools, dear Lord, to help Marilyn.
Father, we ask for your complete healing of this woman.
In Jesus name, Amen.

I know. They MADE their older brother sign the POA, then had Alice sign the DNR. Makes NO sense at all.

I'm as baffled as you are on this one. I wouldn't put my worst enemy in that hospital if even one third of what I've heard of Marilyns treatment is true! (And of course I believe with all my heart, everything Beach_Babe has told us).

I agree with your sentiments. It would seem something truly evil is at work in this situation.
