daniela -“My opinion (I know Health will grill me for speaking of situations I don’t know, and in this case, he would be right) is that the employee, after being treated like sub-garbage for who knows how long, was beyond humanity, beyond common sense, even beyond self-interest and self-protection, she was like a broken robot blabbing nonsense”
I mean you can sit and speculate all you want, as long as you realize you turned this into a novel; none of your posts are even close to non-fiction.
“She does not really say, she keeps saying “ummm…” “no one…” “not at this time…” (?!) At a point she talks to someone else in the room (not clear whom) and asks to get someone (inintelligible, we may infer some sort of supervisor, but this is pure speculation) and says something about the dispatcher’s insistance stressing her.
No word about a DNR and not even about informal statements from the patient. Also, the fire dept have confirmed there was no DNR on file with them.”
The point being was she never said there is No DNR -so a good possibility is that she knew about the DNR from the family and therefore did nothing. The FD never (almost never) has any DNR’s -they wait for s/o at the facility to give it to them before they honor it.
