7. I find most people do not understand

what DNR means. I always put it in a way they can understand and am very honest. I ask if grandmas heart stops, should we let her slip away peacefully, or do you want us to pound on her chest, shock her with electricity and stick a tube down her throat and nose?
After witnessing futile Full Codes on terminal elderly people, you become convinced it is mothing short of torture.
