LabelGP require2consult on Do not resusAB1112
Question text You may have heard of the phrase 'do not resuscitate order'. These are used to decide whether a patient should be resuscitated in hospital if they stop breathing. Imagine a doctor has not been able to talk to a patient about what they would want in this situation. Do you think the law should require doctors to consult with a person's family before deciding on a 'do not resuscitate order'? (Again, please look at the top section of the card.)
