You don’t see the issue of your medical practitioner trying to convince you to choose cost cutting death over the chance at living?
Of course I do. No one should be pressured by anyone in regard to their code status, it’s a deeply personal choice, choice being the operative word.
You made an incorrect statement.
DNR patients do, in fact, have hospital stays, sometimes extended. They get surgery. DNR is do everything up until I’m dead, then stop.
You’re talking about palliative care and hospice. Those types of care remove various life saving cares.
All hospice and palliative have a DNR code status.
Not all DNR code status patients are palliative or hospice.
It’s an important distinction.
