The irony is, at least in the US, the tattoo by itself isn't a valid DNR and would be ignored by the RFs and ED.

My daughter is a nurse and tells me that even when it is the wish of the patient, it is very hard to stand by and allow them to expire.
To: WhyisaTexasgirlinPA
Your daughter is a kind person. I am sure it is hard to watch someone pass. However, many people who have watched a family member suffer through life support... don’t want the same death for themselves. I guess they figure they lived a good life and if it is their “time” then they are ready to meet the Good Lord.

I wonder what God will do when he sees that?

Once committed to takeoff, stay committed to takeoff. I, however, am reminded of the old saying "a tattoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling."

Why did she bother? The Brit health care system rarely pays attention when a terminal patient begins to tank.

I have a living will that legally spares me from a long, drawn out death. I told my doctor my children have been directed to sue him if he tries to have me resusitated,
That should scare him into compliance.

That takes care of one person in the medical profession. How about the millions of others?

That ‘old saying’ is a Jimmy Buffett song.

My sister has been a nurse for over 30 years and she says the same thing about when she was in the recovery ward. She is in pre op now, so it is not as bad.

Yes and I think the woman in this story explained it well - she wouldn’t have done this 10 years ago but it is her decision.
To: ruesrose
I have a living will that legally spares me from a long, drawn out death.My wife and I both have what our attorney tells us is a legally-binding document that if one of us is revived in conflict with our wishes, the remaining one has the right and ability to sue the offending medical facility.
I think that that provision would make any hospital or rescue service think twice about going against our wishes.
Money talks.

Right-to-die grandmother has 'do not resuscitate' TATTOO on her chestThis is the UK health care system. So this is something she need not worry about.
