Episode description

In April 2022, 81-year old Celeste Salanitri died twelve days after being resuscitated by paramedics. Unfortunately, she never wanted to be resuscitated in the first place. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) laws – and the accompanying forms and rules – can be confusing. In this episode, Nick and Samantha explain what DNR is – and is not – and explore the legal, ethical and clinical implications of DNRs for EMS providers. Please like, comment, and subscribe!
