What Is The Worst Suffering You Can Inflict On Your Family?
When you rescind their clearly stated DNR, you are failing them in their last living moments. I see this all the time. And it’s just plain sad.
Your grandfather wanted to die a peaceful, dignified death. Because of you he will linger in the ICU for a few weeks before he ultimately dies of something unpleasant, painful, and expensive. There is almost nothing worse you can do to someone than to remove whatever control they tried to exert over their own inevitable death. You have ruined the last few weeks of his life, and that is an awful thing to do to another human being.
