    Any paramedics seeing this? What would you do in this case? it’s not really a DNR.

      I would treat it as something for the mortician to deal with. Do Not Embalm [just throw me in the local landfill via the dumpster out back].

      *Am not a paramedic.

      That’s the same question I ask about the huge block letter DNR tattooed on my chest, I draw the signature back after showers.

      Doesn’t matter if it did say DNR. If there isn’t a signed, valid copy at hand, they’re gonna err on the side of resuscitation.

      Imagine poisoning grandma and just slapping a DNR bracelet on.
