A patient's death prompts a doctor to assess 'Do Not Resuscitate' orders

My version of DNR is "Do Not Resign." Don't give up on me if I can still think, communicate, create and enjoy life. When taking care of me, take care of yourself as well, to make sure you don't burn out by the time I need your optimism the most. My DNI? It means "Do Not Ignore" . . . my needs for companionship, stimulation and purpose, as these, too, make life worth living. . . . It's so easy to let someone die, but it takes effort, determination and stamina to help someone stay and feel alive. Washington Post
