No, those would be Advance Medical Directives. DNRs deal with specific incidents such as strokes, heart attacks, etc.

"No, those would be Advance Medical Directives. DNRs deal with specific incidents such as strokes, heart attacks, etc."Same difference. A DNR is authorized by an advanced med directive. It can apply even if such a condition of stroke, or heart attack appears imminent.

Advance Directives are legal documents expressing the wishes of the patient. DNR’s are physician orders. Dr. Pou stated in a couple of interviews that the patients had DNR’s.
