I agree with Robin.  A doctor is also a teacher: part of the job is to teach
your patient how to not do whatever it is that landed her in your office.

 

I learned a lot from Rafal's post.  Please may I forward it to the local
Alcor community?

Recently the hospital administration, in their wisdom, decreed that I have
to ask each and every patient I admit about his preferences regarding
resuscitation. .

 

If a doctor, a lawyer or another huckster asks you if you want to have DNR
orders be sure you really know what the story is about. You don't want to
sign your own death warrant accidentally, do you?
