    1. As none native speaker I’m guessing DNR means something about he’s an organ donor or he shouldn’t be revived

      Am I close?

    2. Ex emt here. Even if we see dnr bracelets etc we are to continue resuscitation efforts until a proper signed dnr paper is shown to us.

    3. Not that I believe it, I don’t, but popular urban legend says that if you’re poor, and an organ donor, they’ll ” accidentally ” let you die to harvest your organs. They, of course, is never defined

    4. As a former EMT this scenario wouldn’t count because we don’t honor dnrs without proof of the official document.

      A bracelet would make us pause but eventually the hospital would get confirmation from the family.
