Never say die. After a routine surgery my mother in law became infected with MRSR and was put in a medically induced coma for 5 days but never fully regained consciousness. Three months later she if now breathing through a tracheotomy with help of a respirator and being fed through a feeding tube. She has recieved CPR on several occasions and is going in for surgery to install a pacemaker despite having signed a DNR. People sign a DNR for this exact reason so they are not kept alive hooked to machines for months on end with no end in sight. Malpractice or insurance fraud?
