#PSA If you have a do-not-resuscitate (#DNR) order, make sure it's visible at all times from the entryway of your home.
This PSA brought to you courtesy of my elderly uncle being resuscitated, intubated, and put on a ventilator by EMTs, against the wishes in his DNR, because they didn't know he had one, and now he's lying sedated in an ICU, and I, as his healthcare proxy, am responsible for deciding whether to continue providing the care he didn't want or withdraw it and "see what happens." 💔
