The hospitals should be really for triaging, and and then hopefully successfully resuscitating and rehabilitating people. The hospitals should be really for triaging, and and then hopefully successfully resuscitating and rehabilitating people. I conceive of a very different model. I am hoping for a revolution in hospice medicine.

Jordan’s dedication extends to resuscitating a child born with no heartbeat to a drug-addicted mother, who was later adopted by a loving couple. “Both children are doing great; in fact, one just celebrated her quinceañera,” he shares with pride. “I’m truly blessed to be a part of their lives.”

But when the doctor explained the choices between, you can either have CPR or have a do not resuscitate order, or you can have CPR or allow a natural death. When it was do not resuscitate, fewer people chose it. As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) Amber: Norm is, yeah.

In real life, resuscitation doesn’t work so well. In those few successful resuscitations, the person was left physically and mentally damaged. With your burden of disease, the chances of a successful resuscitation would be close to zero. It’s not like what you see on TV.

James Tulsky did a study in the late 80s looking at how residents at UCSF talked about code status, where the paradigmatic way was, if your heart stops, do you want us to resuscitate it? 20 years later, Wendy Anderson did exactly the same study and found that residents at UCSF used exactly the same language.

One common myth about hospice is that patients must forgo the option to be resuscitated when dying. While most patients in hospice make an advance directive stating a preference to not be resuscitated or intubated, this is not a requirement. DNR stands for “do not resuscitate.” If there is any doubt, they will resuscitate.
