I was admitted to hospital with sepsis and signed a DNR. Everyone who was involved in my hospitalization (you’ll note I didn’t write “ involved in my care” since I had very little “care”) tried to talk me into withdrawing my DNR. The nurses kept insisting I was too young to be a no code (63). The doctors tried sending me home ASAP. As soon as I was able I transferred out of my insurance and got another which enabled me to change doctors and hospital. I am a retired RN and I would have never tried to talk a patient I had just met into changing their decision about their health care!
