Thats very good. I am glad you.have such a good outcome record. My complaint was that the desire to still do timely and appropriate care was lessened...if someone is having trouble breathing the call to a pulmonologist might be delayed..which i am sure you are aware could make it more likely for an adverse cardiac event ....and presto...pt. is DNR. The statement is “Well...the was DNR for a reason...so would have probably died anyway” I.have seen a physician managing a code blue pronounce a patient dead...go tell the family about the demise of the patient...then when the physican came back to bedside...the patient developed a pressure and heartbeat...pt died 2 days later...but I wouldnt want to see the scene when.doc sees family again and had to.say...”the death of your loved one was highly exaggerated” sorry bout that chief..
I dont need a pulmonologist to manage difficulty breathing and difficulty breathing leads to adverse pulmonary not cardiac events. I have run more codes than you can shake a stick at and have never had a patient come back after calling a code. But I bow to your superior experience you obviously see the world the way you want to.
