“ The wife presented paperwork of her husbands intention to not resuscitate.”
What paperwork? All Dr offices know the proper form, it must be signed by the px physician. Did a physician actually sign this paperwork?
Whatever paperwork they had they now know wasn’t acceptable, unfortunately a hard way to learn the requirement.
Anyone with a DNR should have it on them at all times. You never know where one will be when it’s needed. Many times the ill person isn’t at home and the DNR is, the EMS crew must work the px.
