Today, I would call 911 and let the trained professionals make the appropriate medical decision. Today there is no DNR in place for anyone I know. I don't know what I might do if the DNR applied to someone I care about - I hope I never find myself in that position.

I worked in 911/dispatch in New York for 31 years and can confidently say that you are correct… Calling 911 has nothing to do with a DNR.
You can tell the 911 operator that there is a DNR in place…
