In reply to the discussion: I've had some time to process what happened at yesterday's Dr. appointment [View all]MLAA
(18,877 posts)you find a better match. It is so hard to replace a long, good relationship with a great health professional. I had the same pcp for 35 years until he retired last year and he was one of a kind, emphasis on kind! I recently had the same DNR discussion with an ER Dr for my dear 88 year old husband. In my case I was certainly startled and taken a back but appreciated the frank discussion of the impact of CPR on someone of his age. We had never understood what would really be involved in CPR for someone with his medical history. While the DR was kind and respectful, it was still hard to hear and process the information. We had always thought resuscitate unless there was brain damage. We ultimately agreed DNR was right for him.
Sending you and your luckiest cats in the world (to have you) hugs.
