Do Not Resuscitate Orders, ID Bracelets & Experiences

I have a copy of my DNR in my wallet. There is a copy with my hospital, and with my doctors. Also, I belong to Medic Alert. They use a toll-free number that can be accessed by emergency personnel to know what meds I am on, my health conditions, medical professional contact numbers, plus the DNR, etc. They also have my Advanced Directive on file there. My husband is well aware of my DNR and knows where the copy is here at home. Every 3 months I get a copy of my dialysis orders and bloodwork to use as "transfer paperwork" in the event I need to be hospitalized.

I have DNR on my medical records, I never was given a card or anything to carry. Should I ask my primary about that?.
