Hello all. Any advice info/ pointers to info regarding the implications of dnr?
Dfil is currently in hospital for the second time in 2 months with dehydration/ Uti etc. He is mid 80's, had a severe stroke 8 years ago and has been in a nursing home for several years. Until recently quite with it but declined massively and refuses food/ drink. Doc is asking about dnr- what impact would that have? It is as if h e is only being kept going by drips/ antibiotics and will go back only to decline again? Any thoughts welcome.
