Sorry after 45 plus years in OR, not at any time was A YOU involved. We were a group of many, never did one person get in a snit if resuscitation was turned down by a family member (cause the one on the floor isn’t making any decisions, if they can talk they don’t need you)
It’s interesting you alone saved so many people without any assistance. I stopped counting at 100 events, but not at any time could I take credit for being the lone person who saved anyone.
But in return none of us were the sole reason why we called for a time of death. Although if it was an infant, child or young person, all involved attending end result meeting, could have input if something could have changed the outcome.

Not defending the post in question nor challenging yours....however, the post in question was an individual stating that if all things are equal (ie; same training, certification etc) but, one is a paid professional and one is a volunteer, some whom are/were Army medics, EMTs, FF, nurses....she said she would decline services. The DNR was added by the rest of us in the scenario in that the yellow paper needs to be present. That’s insulting and as an OR professional, if you were on that volunteer team and were told that....because you’re an unpaid volunteer....no thanks....you’d be insulted as well. Again, she never brought up a DNR....just the paid/unpaid take...
