As an end stage patient, I appreciate the courage of your convictions. I choose to believe that more of 'us' are less afraid of having them than our families and health care professionals.

Good course. I find that too many caregivers think that DNR/I means do not care. Fluids and basic antibiotics are often withdrawn too soon. DNR does not mean do not care.
