[The Great RJ]

I was a paramedic for many years and had on occasion to be called by the families of patients who were terminally ill. Our protocol was that if it was a 911 call we were obligated morally and legally to do everything possible no different than any other patient. However I did have one incident were a distraught family member called 911 when their terminally ill relative had cardiac arrest. We were met at the door by another family member who explained the situation and showed us a signed Do Not Resuscitate order. We canceled the call.

A heart attack victim with a legitimate DNR is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from an accident victim.
