@fiesty76- Sue, I agree, what great advice. I've never heard of Vial of life, am going to look into this for sure. I also advise everyone to make copies of DNR's and if you are hospitalized with something grave, make sure someone gives each head nurse (or whatever they are called notw) gets a copy. Not all records are transported with the patient. This happened to my twin sister, who was resucitated after a heart attack because her DNR wasn't with her. Not a very pleasant thing for her or us, her family.

@merpreb, I am so sorry that happened to your twin and family. Great point and one I would never have thought of. I need to make additional copies of both Physician's Directives and the DNR instructions and hope they get to each person in charge of making the life or death decisions that the patient wants.
