Alarming reading this morning in some of our papers where it appears that an audit of Britains Hospitals
has uncovered 40,000 cases of Do Not Resucitate Orders being placed on patients without any consultation
with their families.Is it considered fair I wonder if a patient is perhaps terminal with cancer or near the end with
dementia suffers a cardiac arrest and Medical Staff come pounding on chests and inserting tubes ? Perhaps its
just one of those sad facts of life that noone wants to contemplate and so we are happy to leave it with the Doctors,
Dignity in Death ? do we fool ourself ?
