@Peaceful It differs in each country. There you go; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informed_refusal

It’s out of autonomy. The patient can decide if they want medical treatment and they can refuse it.

They can even be discharged against medical advice.

I recommend reading more.
You were saying?

@offingg I said a DNR does. But if you don't specify, they can still take extraordinary lengths like a feeding tube. Sure if they are conscious or had it documented. You were saying?

There is discharge against medical advice

There refusal of treatment as well

Do you want me to spell them out for you? Go google them, it’s easy

@Peaceful Oh no! The bad people are trying to make someone as comfortable as possible while they’re dying! God, big pharma does it every time!!!

@offingg I'm aware. Anything new you wanna add? I assumed they were unconscious 🙄

@offingg got it. Medically indoctrinated 🤣

Hun, when they’re unconcious, they’re unable to give out conset. That being, medical personnel must 1) do no harm 2) beneficence. If they have no DNR status, it is their duty to save their lives. God, big pharma and saving lives! There they go again. It sucks when they do that @Peaceful

@offingg that's why a DNR is signed beforehand, amongst other things. Lmfao. You're adorable. 🤣

You see when someone tells you to read, it’s actually out of the goodness of their own hearts

@offingg avoid question I asked? Indoctrinated. 😅
Hope you outgrow it one day 🤭

Nope, just not avoiding the threat you made

Which might I add, might just be punishable by law

@offingg threat? Are you crazy????
Also, posting about me without all the facts actually is against TOS. So thanks, hypocrite 🤣
