I couldn’t believe it when I read it.
I thought assisted suicide was illegal in Oklahoma.
That patient had do be a DNR..and then have Comfort Care orders made.
I've seen this hundreds of times...
I'm a DNR...but that doesn't mean all care stops.
Comfort care measures are generally written after staff, family, physicians, etc..meet and discuss what the family and the patient want. Most of these patients are terminally ill.....and/or don't want to be hooked up to machines anymore.
