@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell DNACPR is a medical decision..if you ask for one a doctor can say no, therefore assault? -
@katemasters67@doctorcaldwell DNACPR is medical decision. Nobody can demand inappropriate treatment. But CPR is a treatment you can refuse -
@C7RKY@doctorcaldwell but can you refuse it without a doctor's say so? If a doctor doesn't agree they have responsibility to preserve life -
@katemasters67@doctorcaldwell Yes, you can I believe. Even if the doctor thinks your decision makes no sense at all. Just looking it up...
