A doctor is sued for performing CPR on a DNR patient

I can’t believe that this case went to trial. Advance directives do not in any way equal a DNR! Yes, I agree that it is insane that a 92 year old with Alzheimer’s did not have a DNR on her chart, but what could the doctor do once he was called that she had arrested?

Some people go through life with a positive attitude and just let the unpleasantries roll off their back.

This family has insisted on continuing a form of self torture. Perhaps they do not wish to deal with feelings of guilt over not visiting Nana. Maybe it is just greed for the money of the suit. Whatever it is, they don’t give a damn what their actions do to the rest of the individuals around them, nor do they care whether they will adversely alter the relationship between docs attempting to deal with their patient’s wishes.

This family needs to let their own lives rest in peace for a change.

This has nothing to do with medicine, DNR”s or medical malpractice. It is one family and a greedy sodomite trying to take advantage of the system to try and gain a settlement. Maybe they were looking for 100K and figuring it wouldn’t have gone to trial. Now it’s dragging out and they’re getting frustrated, thinking this would be easy pickings. Hopefully one of them (or the lawyer sodomite himself) will drop dead and there will be nobody around who knows CPR. Just desserts.
