I apologise for the language, but even ten months after my wife died, I am still bitter about the manner in which my wife was given no chance at all. As for myself, I still await the reply from the hospital to my complaint.
My wife is a care worker and she was appalled during the pandemic at the fact that GPs were writing DNRs like confetti for people just because they were learning difficulty or over a certain age without the knowledge of family or carers. In fact when carers referred such people to the ambulance service, the first question was "do they have a DNR?". It's a scandal that has still not received proper media attention.
