She injured her arm and paramedics were called to treat her and take her to the hospital. As they were wheeling her away, she proudly exclaimed that she has a DNR order. All I could think of was that she should be careful what she wishes for. A trip to the hospital for a relatively minor injury could lead right to the graveyard in this culture of death. ""
I agree, Piperpilot! From what we are learning, a DNR order, is indeed a very dangerous thing. I was taken by ambulance last week to the hospital. I'm not any where near elderly. I was horrified when both of those who where in the ambulance with me, said: They agreed with the killing of Terri. YIKES~!!!
Also, a family member was in the ICU during the past week. I talked to all the nurses I came in contact with in the ICU area. All of them, without exception, were in favor of what happened to Terri. Very, very SCARY~!!
