Do you have a DNR?
Why would someone have a DNR?
Like an advance directive, this is an official document you would have on hand and file with local doctors and hospitals.
If these are your wishes, you should let your loved ones know.
Why should your next of kin know if you have a do not resuscitate order?
Is a tattoo of DNR sufficient?
If you don't want to be resuscitated, who should you call when someone dies?
The details of death are complex; with some advance planning we can help our loved ones carry out our wishes to the best of their ability.
