Unless there are convincing reasons not to discuss it. Then they must be documented.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/698874198190649345 …
@katemasters67 Which ought to be extremely rare, unless I'm missing something..?

@C7RKY yes - sadly am hearing of doctors using it as a get out to the discussion though. It is heartbreaking. -
@katemasters67@C7RKY As a get out when making DNACPR decisions still? Or as a get out by defaulting to "for CPR" even when inappropriate? -
@jim_crawfurd@katemasters67 There is no get-out from making a CPR decision - you end up making one either way. This is about the discussion -
@C7RKY@katemasters67 But creates situation where "easiest path" is to decide "for CPR" if staff too pressed for time to discuss every case -
@jim_crawfurd@katemasters67 Time is a whole other debate. But taking 'easiest' option if it's not in pt's best interests sounds dodgy to me -
@C7RKY@katemasters67 Agreed, but depends what harm may come to other patients if you spend a long time on the discussion. Genuinely. -
@jim_crawfurd@katemasters67 Back to time again & so to#safestaffing. Nobody wants doctors to have to choose which pt they must let down! -
@C7RKY@jim_crawfurd this is a matter of patient safety and should be reported to managers IMO. It's a terror situation to place doctors in. - 10 more replies
