Do Not Resuscitate (DNR): What You Need to Know Before Choosing This Status - MD reveals the TRUTH

Do Not Resuscitate is a touchy and somewhat controversial topic. Who decides DNR status? At what point is this decision made? What exactly does it mean to choose "Do Not Resuscitate" status? These are fairly common questions that come up around the topic. In this video I not only go over these questions, but I go deeper into the research to find out what really happens to people who choose DNR... Some of the findings are quite disturbing and, in my opinion, require further conversation. If you're interested in reading these studies for yourself, I have linked them all below.

Thank you for joining me on another episode of Baktari MD! Do you have a question regarding our healthcare system? Please leave your question in the comments below so I can make an episode about it. Also, I’d love to hear any suggestions you may have for future content.
