EDITED FOR CONTEXT/CLARITY. (DEmedic) To Chaz90 Re; I don't remember thinking you're being rude. re: train of thought...Hmmmm Not sure why it was confusing. I realized i said something the about treatment the other day that, in retrospect, could have been a better answer and wanted to...

btw re larfge debate with dude about handling hr22 patient, i thought about it and remembered how many i had of these and realized it would be quite extreme situation where id jump on cpr for a moment prior to TCP you were right. that was a (likely, under most circumstances) a dumb thing...

re: Here's one for you: If your patient is clearly altered, has a heart rate of 22 and a BP that's barely palpable and is breathing 4 times a minute, are you going to start CPR? Are you going to hang dopamine or epinephrine, or put the patient on a pacer?This patient does have a valid DNR. This...

RE And I like to think that I have allowed many patients their right to die with dignity on their own terms. That is something I would not dare take away. I would like to think that too

regarding whoever said i was being pedantic i saw that word on family guy once....what an episode!!! HI-LARIOUS I dont know what it means but i do know this this whole debate has been about do not RE\SUSCITATE someone who is still breating. nothing more nothing less. but if where...

Ok then Tell me where I don't understand If the patient is alive what does a DNR have to do with this? You tell me I clearly don't understand, then you articulate........ Why would a do not RESUSCITATE be relavent to a LIVE person?

dnr HMMM I should look up or ask you to remind me what POLSTB means in your state. ... I personally dont know what state yur in, but We were talking about DNR. not POLST. if your state uses polst, and that polst allows for no cpr/bvm but everything else, then thats a DNR. dnr...

Hmmmm If they are dn"R" then it's dn"R" We can debate foreger If they had a poorly thought out advanced directive etc or none, etc etc etc But the question was, do you ASSIST a pt w/sob that has DNR? In most states (at least mine)(lol) you MUST (as in duty to act) (and maybe even...
