This is a common misconception. Doctors should discuss DNACPR with patients wherever possible, but the decision rests with doctors.

Where CPR wouldn& #39;t work it shouldn& #39;t be offered, and patients don& #39;t have the right to demand brutal treatments that won& #39;t work. https://twitter.com/martynware/status/1246736552987971585">https://twitter.com/martynwar...

And patients aren& #39;t asked to sign a form as many seem to believe.

I never frame these discussions as asking patients or family if they would or wouldn& #39;t want resuscitation. It& #39;s wrong to put them in that position.

Discuss it sensitively. Explain all the other treatment options.
