@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell that's where clarification would be good..is CPR always considered emergency treatment? -
@katemasters67@doctorcaldwell Significance of 'emergency' here is that there's no time to consent. But if consent was prev sought & denied? -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell is CPR the one treatment that you cannot refuse? The only way to do it is to get a DNACPR and a doctor can say 'no' -
@katemasters67@doctorcaldwell I wouldn't accept that there is any medical treatment which you cannot refuse, if you have capacity. No? -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell it's a very grey area... -
@katemasters67@doctorcaldwell Personally, I see this in a very balck & white way tbh. I'd be interested to debate those who see grey here. -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell it should be..personal autonomy dictates that..but you have to have medical agreement for this one. -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell if a doctor issues DNACPR re patient wishes, & doesn't resus patient who could have lived have they helped pt to die? - 3 more replies
