Need a Healthcare Provider to discreetly issue me a DNR. GP has refused. I am unemployed but can discuss payment.
In Ontario, a formal Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, also known as a Do Not Resuscitate Confirmation Form (DNR-C), must be obtained through a healthcare provider, not just a doctor, and cannot be obtained without medical confirmation.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
DNR-C Form:
The DNR-C form is a document that directs paramedics and firefighters not to initiate CPR in the event of a cardiac or respiratory arrest.
Obtaining a DNR-C:
You must discuss your wishes with your healthcare provider (doctor, nurse, or other regulated health professional).
The healthcare provider will assess your situation and determine if a DNR-C is appropriate.
The healthcare provider will complete and sign the DNR-C form.
Important: You cannot download and print a DNR-C form yourself, as it requires medical confirmation.
Communicating your wishes:
Let your caregivers and loved ones know about your DNR-C order and where it is located.
Consider displaying the DNR-C form prominently, such as on your fridge, to inform paramedics and firefighters of your wishes.
DNR-C vs. AND:
While the DNR-C focuses on resuscitation, you can also have an "Allow Natural Death" (AND) order, which focuses on comfort care and not necessarily resuscitation.
Substitute Decision-Maker:
If you become incapable of making decisions about your care, you can name a substitute decision-maker who can make decisions on your behalf, including regarding resuscitation.
Consent and Capacity Board:
If there is a disagreement between a physician and a substitute decision-maker regarding the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, the Consent and Capacity Board (CCB) can be consulted.
Expected Death in the Home Protocol:
The Ontario Health at Home program has a protocol for expected deaths in the home, which includes information about DNR-C orders and other end-of-life planning.
