Decision Making: Resuscitation

He didn’t “talk her out of it”. He explained that CPR for people with severe co-morbidities, has a very low success rate, and even IF “successful”, can result in other problems, including injuries such as broken ribs…but don’t take my word for it….read the small but informative book “Hard Choices for Loving People” by Hank Dunn.

I felt he was to leading I.his asking her questions of what SHE WANTED- sounded as if he was telling HER WHAT SHE SHOULD WANT AND NOT WANT I think before she sighns any document she needs to be enterviewed by another person not so opinuated can ask her neutral. detail questions explaining all of her options more scenarios of possible health conditions and then ask her not tell what she would under detailed circumstances.I also picked up on though daughter did love the mother was seeing mother as a burden to daughter's life that she didn't want to continue carting much longer,is sad but true.I think they should check into social services who could come into home and help lesson burden on the daughter. such as nurses or certified aids capable of handling emergency situations while daughter was not there.There is also house keepers who can come in and do house cleaning to help with lessening burden on the daughter who probably has family and home of her own who also need her love and attention that may feel guilty that she is neglecting and she also needs a supporting family during this time they may all need counceling to help cope with getting though this time in their life especially a partner or spouse many divorces accrue when partner is not at home whether it be away due to a job in military service or taking care of eldery such parent.

All I ask before I pass on, is to be able to rob a bank. That's number one on my bucket list, though I would be okay if I could rob a train on horseback instead. At some point, I'm going to have to discuss all this with my doctor.

[@robertrockwell7581]

due not agree with this. he changed her mind in two seconds on C.P.R. take this paper home and discuss it on your time with family or your designated person who you have too make those decisions for you. do not rush into this in 5 minutes sitting in you Doctor's office.

Get older and sick and all they want is to get rid of you.

[@lynnenchls]

No, they want to prevent people from even MORE horrible circumstances & make their own choices rather than having the healthcare system (and I DO mean the SYSTEM) make decisions FOR her.

Thats not true. The older you get the less chances that CPR would work and more chances that it would do more harm than good.
