EMTs by nature will perform life-saving technics including resuscitation automatically. When mom was on Hospice we were told specifically NOT to call 911 - but we also had the MOLST form posted on the bedroom door handle. Resuscitation can be extremely painful for certain individuals and often does not have a high success rate. A MOLST form is a home DNR in certain states.
