Isi artikel

Mr. H is 82 years old and has many serious medical problems, including ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. He has had a series of debilitating strokes that have left him severely disabled and unable to communicate his wishes. His healthcare providers feel that he would not bene?t from resuscitation attempts if he were to suffer a cardiac arrest and suggest to his family that a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order be placed on his chart. The devoutly Baptist family are quite upset and reject this suggestion. They believe that God could still heal their husband and father, and they accuse the healthcare providers of trying to ‘‘play God.’’
