So first a little background then the question.
I went for my colonoscopy on Friday, they asked about my living will and if I had a DNR. I learned that it doesn't matter what I had done by my lawyer in Maine, the state of Florida has a special form that needs to be filled out then you get a card to show the hospital etc.
Well 20 years ago while having day surgery, they put me under I stopped breathing,and my heart stopped. They used the paddles on me a few times, the doctor was in a hurry so I ended up with burns on my chest. The top half of my heart does work.
If I had a DNR 20 years ago I would be dead. I don't want to be hooked up to hoses so they can water me like a house plant for 20 years. Then again I'm glad I didn't have a DNR 20 years ago.
The form I got from the state of Florida is either DNR or everything they can do. So it's all or nothing.
The question is what would you guys do. or already done?
