Your shit in order = proper paperwork present immediately. Cuz that shit happened AGAIN today! Unless actual legal paperwork is immediately present, we are legally required to revive you. I've had dozens of patients where the family is like "oh but s/he has a DNR / doesn't want to be revived" but then they don't have paperwork around to show us, so now we gotta be like "well....sucks brah >_>" and do CPR on them. CPR only has like a 30% survival rate anyway, but still >_> Even if they did file it the right way, if it isn't around for us to read right then and there, we have to react to the situation and save their life just in case it's all bullshit. We can't spend 10 minutes searching around while someone is on the floor dying when it could be a bluff by some family member looking for an early inheritance lol. Going "I wasnt sure so followed cardiac arrest protocol is MUCH better than I wasnt sure so I sat around and didnt do anything lawl >_>

And for the love of our former admin SBAllah, do NOT get a Do Not Resuscitate tattoo. That is not legally binding and any self-respecting and competent healthcare provider is just gonna ignore it anyway cuz that ain't legal paperwork. Unless you're gonna draw up a long ass dictation along with your signature, your physician's signature, possibly a witness signature, and a date, you're literally just wasting ink getting that. Plus it's just stupid.

tl;dr: Get paperwork in order and make sure it's around easily with family members or something. Nuances are a little different across state lines but it's generally all the same everywhere. And I guess eat your veggies so you don't become fat and die either. That's my lesson here >_>

No worries when I'm finally ready DNR will be tattooed somewhere visible on my neck. Tattoos are legally binding contracts thats why I live my life with no regerts.

Honestly most of the people with DNR's are hospice or really fucked up and they're most likely either homebound with caretakers or in a nursing home anyway. So it "should" be easily accessible in that situation

If you're young and healthy, well I hope you have a friend carrying that shit with you lol

Lol, are you joking? Trusting some random person that says that a person has a DNR without actual proof seems like a terrible idea to me.

CE has had too many fake doctors for you to be believable at this point. Sorry, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Should stop posting here if it upsets you.

Honestly I highly doubt it would be legal even if it was written like that lol. If I saw that wild shit, I'd defer to my command doctor and he'd probably be like "that's weird. Just bring that dude in anyway lol"

You're not supposed to... that's exactly the point... survival rates of CPR outside of medical facilities is well documented.

I've been here since 2004 and I don't recall even a single person who's been proven to be a "fake doctor". This is just some really sad bait.

30% survival is highly optimistic

maybe 1/2 that

but obviously situation/age depended. One in ten is a good number from my experience (and general data and every other doctor I've spoken to, 30% would be amazing)

Basically. We're like "welp, see ya." and throw a sheet on them and let the cops take them to the morgue. We have other calls to attend to than staring at a dead dude that wants to be dead >_>

Me personally? None but I've see it online. Some of my coworkers have seen it once or twice throughout the years. It seems like only dumbass young people get that shit (aka people less likely to actually code cuz they're young and healthy >_>). Older/dying people know to *actually* do it the real and proper way at least.

My mom had hers tacked up by the second bathroom in her room. Her doctor had filled it out about a year before. They followed it.

She was a nursing assistant back when she was younger. She saw multiple people who were basically braindead and kept alive for no reason. She didn't want that at all.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I completely understand her reasoning because I've see the same shit myself when I go to those places >_> If I'm braindead, I'd rather be deaddead instead
