If you are 70 or over or in bad health, it is: "Time to do a DNR or DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER:
A do-not-resuscitate order, or DNR order, is a medical order written by a doctor. It instructs health care providers not to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a patient's breathing stops or if the patient's heart stops beating.
What is a DNR and how is it created?
A DNR order is created, or set up, before an emergency occurs. A DNR order allows you to choose whether or not you want CPR in an emergency. It is specific about CPR.
We are Kaiser Members, and they have an electronic copy of our DNR wishes in their computer, which is accessible by any ER in the country as well as their doctors.
We discussed this with our adult sons, trust lawyer, regular lawyer, current FP at Kaiser, whom we have know for over a decade and our previous/now retired FP of 35 years and our priest. They all know our final desires.
This below is not how we want to finish our good lives here:
Look at those patients.
The one closer to the camera isn’t an old person. Look at the skin around the neck, hands, elbows. Not an old person.
That’s a young person.
Italy is triaging for ICU beds like mad.
Nobody over 65 gets an ICU bed.
Nobody under 65 gets one if they have any other conditions (hypertension, diabetes, cancer, etc).
If you look further down the DM page with all the Italian ICU pics you’ll see that most all of those pics are of young people. Ie, under 40.
The reason the old people are dying is that they’re being actively denied medical care in Italy.
I’ll be more concise.
Old Italians aren’t dying on the ventilator in the ICU.
They’re drowning in their own lung secretions at home. Gasping for air.
