Would you honor this as as DNR?

[Just Plain Ruff]

I don't usually go around admiring tattoos, reading them blah blah when I'm busy. Lol

I wouldn't even glance at this during a code.

Yeah, I wouldn't look at this tattoo either unless someone specifically pointed it out to me.

I would not treat this patient as a DNR, but instead would start treatment & consult with a Medical Command Physician.

There is some literature out there that may be used for or against a provider.

To my knowledge the way the state of texas has it written I would not be legally able to honor it. I need the OOH DNR form from the state of texas with all required signatures. CYA purposes.

a bracelet would have been way cheaper..

NOPE...

in NY, Only thing we can honor is a "Prehospital DNR" that has no no indication of not being legitimate, and the newer MOLST forms.
