Surprisingly very little is taught on DNR from both sides. When you go to a lawyer for your living will, the DNR is explained legally, not what it actually means to you.
Yes, this means if you are in a car wreck and you are identified, somehow, as DNR (Like you say it for some reason) you will be the last one out.
I have orders for preservation and care. My wife does not. I have to be around for her orders to be carried out. She doesn’t have a tattoo, it’s not on an medical paperwork, it’s not a bracelet. Now some people have those things, some do not.
For EMR (Electronic Medical Record) the staff and doctors know that EMR is so far off that it can’t be trusted with such life-and-death decisions. Basically, “DNR” is just a checkbox that some sloppy nurse can hit. It means nothing. They operate like it’s not there.
What does it mean?
