> Discuss. Let's see, a DNR generally pertains to breathing, heart stoppage or something imminently life threatening.
"Conscious but unresponsive" seems to indicate that she is able to breath on her own. So, please answer any one or all of the following please: Is she arresting or seizing in any way? Is there a requirement for intubation? CPR? Resuscitation in any way? Is there contact information on the chart or something indicates whether or not the lawyer's wife is capable of making medical decisions for her? If not, then there is no reason to require the DNR be adhered to because she is not in need of resuscitation. Are you suggesting that perhaps the DNR on her chart is there by mistake as in the case of your aunt recently? -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:151634 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
