Any doctor who was confused by the tattoo should probably find a less intellectually-challenging career.

Have u heard of Hippocratic Oath? A doc is sworn 2 provide care & save a life when possible - not 2 pay attention 2 tattoos. However yes, in this case it was determined he was of sound mind when he got the tatt so they respected his wishes. Not as simple as it seems.

I think he made his wishes pretty clear....now it's possible he may have changed his mind after having had the tattoo, but if he had he could have had the 'not' blackened out so that it read "do --- resuscitate" .

A tattoo on the chest is not a DNR. What if this was the name of his band Or just a phrase he liked?
-
well if he tattooed that on his neck and it was a band then the guy was pretty damn stupid... and a phrase he liked? really...okay whatever...certain phrases shouldn't be toyed with....the consequences can be dire....

I just... feel like this should be a headline from
@TheOnion. -
you haven’t been paying attention to hospital dramas. the oath to do no harm conflicts with a patient’s wish to die.

I think he did everything he could and the hospital made the mistake of providing care based on how they think care should be provided, instead of how the patient wanted care.

Seems pretty clear to me

Well no. A tattoo is not a legal document. It doesn't meet any of the criteria. It is not signed or witnessed, so no confirmation of capacity at the time the tattoo was done -was he intoxicated. It doesn't set out circumstances for the order to take effect. To mention just a few
-
He did have his signature tattooed under the “Do not resuscitate” -part of why the ethics advisor believed him to be serious.
