I don’t know the person that wrote this article but I have worked at a hospital for nearly 38 years and to say that “you are routinely encouraged to sign a DNR” is probably one big, fat LIE.

People that have dedicated their life to healthcare do NOT routinely encourage people to kill themselves. I know better than this.

Are DNRs discussed, yes, we’re required to by our ever intrusive overlords (there are many different kinds of them - not just the federal gov’t). Are people “routinely encouraged to sign a DNR” ...... bullshit.

I’m sure a good chunk of the medical profession is as conscientious about its patients as you are. Unfortunately, a good % of them are not. That’s why these statistics exist - because the bad apples are ruining the reputation of the entire barrel.

I work at a hospital. We ask for a health care proxy. Not a DNR. I think people are easily confused.
