A Scots grandmother has been left disturbed after receiving a 'Do Not Resuscitate' form through her door that had been signed off by two doctors, despite never giving any consent
A Scots grandmother has been left disturbed after receiving a 'Do Not Resuscitate' form through her door that had been signed off by two doctors, despite never giving any consent.
She told the Record: "I was in shock when the letter came through the door. I remember a doctor speaking to me asking if it was something I would want to consider for the future but I said, 'No, I don't think so'. "I haven't signed anything and neither has my family. I understand that I was very ill in November but I have made a full recovery."
The Scottish Government is now facing calls to investigate widespread use of 'Do Not Resuscitate' notices on unwitting patients.
