World of Hurt

We ran into a medical professional who treated my Father and is capable and conscientious in the profession. That individual apprised us of another patient in similar straits as Dad was. The doctor is denying diabetic testing and treatment to a patient with an evidently terminal cancer and has imposed a "do not resuscitate/do not intubate" on the patient without informing the family, so obviously the family had not consented to withdraw care. In fact, according to our "friend", the family did not even know of the DNR/DNI status the doctor ordered- sounds like Dad's death all over again.
