I will not comment on that silly women but must say thank you to thatbags for the link she put on. I thought the doctor quoting her mentor saying ‘You have to learn when you’re prolonging life and when you’re prolonging death.’ hit the nail on the head.
My mother - 95 in a few months, very arthritic, with osteoporosis and Alzheimer's - was asked questions when her GP was putting a life/care plan together for her. She just asked Mum if she would want to be resuscitated. Mum was all for it. There was no attempt to explain what it would/could mean in fact I had to try and explain what the word meant. I suppose it is difficult to know if she could process the information anyway, but if that is the case why ask? The problem is that this document now says very definitely that she wants resuscitating. I cannot bear the thought that they would feel they had to do that.
