....all scenarios are possible.. and yes putting on fridge is good idea especially if person lives alone but with four in a family it would take up a fair bit of room...etc. .. I phoned a provincial govt. office in Toronto about this years ago and not word for word but I gave scenario of if I am out of town with husband shopping; pass out or hit by car crossing street etc.,, and paramedics show up... but my DNR is at home in another town? guess what he replied: oh well your husband can say you have a DNR !! lol, hope paramedics dont rely on what one person says about the other !! daughter has friend who was paramedic and she suggested fridge too, but again, if out of town or shopping in mall, maybe dont even have our address in purse, or maybe no purse! honestly, cant think of how every situation can be covered. Our local hospital in Ontario you have to phone or visit to get copies of reports still, but they say they will be accessible in a few years! In the meantime????? Oh what if someone is out on Lake swimming and sadly has problem, or boating, would they have dnr with them? or ID? just food for thought .. and yes I would love to come to Mayo clinic but not possible .... thats why really like this site, so helpful! Thank you!
