Prayers for a good outcome for you.
The DNR is not a Kevorkian thing, it is the option of not taking extraordinary measures to keep a person alive at the sake of all the survivors wealth if they take a turn for the worse.
Most consider it natural and compassionate if that time should arrive.
I would rather hope for a full recovery of your loved one though God bless!
I'd agree with you, except that it was done by this little resident who looks like his testicles still haven't descended. All during that awful first day, this little dweeb HAUNTED me, and I mean HAUNTED me, to sign that DNR. And that was after I said NO. No. No.
Then when my husband's son from a previous marriage came, the dweeb started in on him to get me to change my mind!
I finally exploded and said I'd never heard of such incredible unethical and CRUEL behavior. He kept saying, "if it was my loved one..." and I said, yeah, if it was your loved one, they'd all be DEAD. So there IS a God...neither I nor my husband is related to YOU.
This little idiot just stood there with his jaw hanging open. I can't tell you how many drs. have done just that because I refuse their "kindnesses" to kill my husband. And they honestly don't get WHY I'm upset - that THEY gave my hospital this infection, that THEY ignored it until he almost died while he was in their hospital.
And that it's SOP to try to impose on the family to let the patient die when they're too stupid and incompetent to do anything BUT.
All I want is for him to be off the ventilator and stable, and I'll take him OUT of that hellhole.
And why is it that no dr. reads his chart? And why don't they ever talk to one another? And why is it that I have met maybe one dr. not connected to this hospital who has a centimeter of human compassion and doesn't keep harping on me about the WORST outcomes? I can't even get these imbeciles to NOT talk about death in front of him!
is this the future of healthcare? I hope to God I drop dead rather than endure this "humane" torture.
