DNR or Full Code for Resuscitation?
Aging Well | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
@sueinmn I have, however, heard of cases where a person has been resuscitated and gone on to live a few more productive senior years. Age 70 or 80 may not necessarily be the end of the road for someone who has suffered a heart attack. But … that’s just my opinion …🤷🏼♀️

@rashida It is true that some do survive resuscitation. However this discussion is specifically about DNR orders, and what happens. Some people feel that the risks of injury and more disability after CPR/defib and subsequent treatment are not worth it to them.

@rashida Yes true that some do O.K. with being given CPR.
However in reality many decisions are based on more than one concern and factor.
We all have to do that deep thinking for the present and the long term factors and as some people will say...'when it it our time' let me go." Age plays a big factor in many decisions.
Wishing and hoping that we all know the right answers for ourselves as to what to do and decide.
