DwayneEMTP Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 My guess is that not being a doctor you didn't see the need for the test, that's pretty much why we have doctors instead of hospitals run by Basics, or even nurses. You seem to be under the impression that unlike us, doctors have no need to justify the care that they provide, and are then able to send near dead people willy nilly around the hospital for tests to run up their bill? Not really trying to bust your balls Brother, but that's a pretty bold statement, and accusation, from a basic that states to having only a few minutes with a patient before determining that she's irrevocably terminal. Unless you simply accepted the nurses diagnosis as your own? Because she had cancer, then you've assumed that that's all she had? Were you able to perform a stroke scale on her? Perhaps before a new onset CVA she didn't have the life ending respiratory issues? DNR means Do Not Resuscitate, it in no way means Do Not Treat. Because you've determined that her life had no more value at this point doesn't mean that she should be left to die without proper and appropriate care.
