@chadwyck Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You pose an important question, regarding placement of DNR paperwork.
Do your siblings oppose the DNR wishes of your dad? Would that be at the root of causing anger and pain? I wonder if you could discreetly inquire at the facility, how they handle DNR paperwork. From what I was able to look up, this information is ideally placed near the patient. And perhaps the technician you spoke to is misinformed as to the markings on his file.
I will be interested to know what you are able to find out.
