My grandpa taped his above his head on his bed after it was disregarded.

True story?

An EMT and ER nurse both told me this is useless and they will always bring you back, unless it’s on file with your doctor.

And generally unless it's on file with the hospital they will attempt resuscitation until called or other notification is available.

What if I have "just friggin' end me, dawg." On a notarized POA on the letterhead from my lawyer stapled to my sternum with a $15 Starbucks gift card?

DNR in Minnesota is the Department of Natural Resources.

You are one of the few people who knew that it was a post for people to realize that we are using up our Natural resources and will soon be dead.... Lol not really but thanks I didn't know that.

What do you actually do when you resuscitate someone that has a DNR? Apologise? Unalive them?

a friend of the family was er doc when grandpa went in. he ignored my grandpa dnr and he lived another 10 yrs. grandpa was pissed but they’d never sue friends or family so… depends on the scenario i guess.

Sue them for battery, the outcome of which is paid to the estate of the deceased - which generally follows quickly after resuscitation of a DNR patient.
OriginalSyn
Depends if the person saving the patient's life knows of the DNR or not. They, and the hospital, can be held liable in court if they knowingly do not respect the DNR. A tattoo is not a valid DNR but it should make the doctor pause and check for one if there is time.

I've been in this situation with an elderly relative. The answer is "Charge them $26,000 for all the work they did bringing them back to life so they can be in a coma for 10 days and then die"

$26K sounds like a relative bargain. 10 days in the ICU usually cost's a heckuva a lot more than that.

This is one of the most American comments I've ever seen.
