Facility's no-CPR policy takes heat after woman's death

[OneManGang]

I am not a Dr.

How many Drs have you seen do CPR on a patient and take control of a code?

I have cowokers who are BLS/ACLS/PALS certified and I would not trust them doing CPR on me if I needed it.

How come nobody is talking about other issues like some hospitals and facilities do not allow their staff to save someone's life if they're outside of the hospital.

Let's say someone had a stoke in the hospital parking lot... the ER staff can't go help you if you're a certain distance away from the hospital entrance. So you have to call 911, get an ambulance to pick you and drop you off in the ER. You only have 15 mins to get help if you had a stroke.

I was just asking. I was agreeing with your post. You must be a nurse or nurse practitioner then.

Smart decision! fukk nursing. If anyone is thinking of going into nursing do something else... Pharmacy, PT, RT, OT, etc.

I wouldn't have done it either. I know someone who died from CPR.

No thanks.

So why exactly is it against the policy? What good reason could you possibly have for refusing someone CPR? I can't think of a real argument for this.

The good reason is if the person wishes to not have CPR done to them.

Who is anyone to question her choice if her choice is known?

Yea but I think we need more details on the DNR to know this , so if this old lady had fell down some steps broke a bunch of bones and cracked her head open and she was probably going to die in a couple days? what then ? just patch her up and let her die? or what if she slips in a tub while one of the workers is around, let her drown to death?

Choking to death is not a natural or peaceful way for anybody to die, regardless of what a paper says


but hey if at the end of the day the family is happy with how it was handled, then

No thanks.

Did the family file a lawsuit against the person who performed CPR?

FOH I am a licensed EMT-B as well as an LPN here in Florida if she had no DNR on file fukk that RN. Yes protocol and scope of practice are always valid but I am sorry the healthcare industry is full of folks who have no biz in it simply because its "recession proof" its always cover your ass....this is a tragedy
