Do You Have a DNR on Your Records?

[Raven]

More to the point......Do you even know if you do?

I got quite upset on reading this News article, and I intend to find out if any Doctor has put one on my records. If they have then they had better get it removed.......Pronto.
If I were terminally ill it could stay but there would be several conditions attached.
This man died needlessly because of a DNR and it's scary to think who else could go like this, because things were not clear.

Guaranteed that it will be Mr. Nobody to blame. I doubt that there is one on my records but if there is and is used I won't be complaining will I?

Need to check this out, we have both had serious conditions and thankfully now in reasonable health but what might be lurking on those records?

[Raven]

Exactly Jacqueline, I have been in hospital several times over the last ten years. But I never looked at the notes hanging at the bottom of my bed. I will be making enquiries though as I have to go back to Ninewells hospital in a couple of months for a check up with my surgeon.

back in 2015 Veronica was very ill and spent 8 weeks in Ninewells. I was shocked to find that her notes said DNR - no idea how it got to be there and had it removed pronto. She lasted another two and a half years and there was never a question of DNR being relevant

No you certainly won't, but your loved ones might have to.

If they even find out...

Apparently my wife did & it was decided by the hospital who told me that she wouldn't be resuscitated.

If you died unexpected in hospital then surely questions would be asked? I know my family would be wanting answers especially my daughter, she's a wee terrier when she wants to know something as several people in authority have found out.

Do you think that convicted criminals ought to have DNR on their records as a mandatory part of their sentence?

I do.. 
Also politicians that have 'cooked' the books.. Lied for their own benefit.
Husbands who are 'Zippers'..  Their Zips are up and down like a yoyo..
Humans who are cruel to animals.
People who do NOT want to work and milk the system.. They are no loss..
Child abusers..
 The list goes on and on..

Nothing controversial there then
