Quick Tip for Families in Intensive Care: Can ICU Issue a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Without Consent in Wisconsin US? The Shocking Truth You Must Know!
“Can ICU issue a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) without consent in Wisconsin? The shocking truth you must know!”
My name is Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com, where we help families of critically ill patients in intensive care to make informed decisions, have peace of mind, control, power, and influence, even if you’re not a doctor or a nurse in intensive care so that your loved one always gets best care and treatment.
Today’s topic is, “Can ICU issue a DNR without consent in Wisconsin in the United States? The shocking truth you must know!” So, this blog post today actually leaned on previous blog posts. The last two previous blog posts that I actually made about the court case in Wisconsin of Grace Schara. Her dad, Scott Schara took the hospital in Wisconsin to court. Scott and his family claimed that Grace Schara was euthanized in ICU during COVID in October 2021 and, his case has been publicized or has been in the public sphere.
From what I can see as, obviously, having worked in intensive care all around the world for the last 25 years, I can see he’s got a point. But, I also believe one of his biggest downfalls was that he didn’t have access to the medical records and that he was really blindsided by the hospital, and that he didn’t get any advice as well. Because we have reversed many, many DNRs for our clients in intensive care. We have saved many lives, and you can verify that on our testimonial section at intensivecarehotline.com. You can also verify it on our intensivecarehotline.com podcast section where we’ve done client interviews.
So, my team’s research have shown that you can’t just issue a DNR, it’s completely illegal. But let’s just look at today’s question in more detail. I just wanted to give you context that obviously this is based on Grace Schara’s court case where the court actually decided in the hospital’s favor, which I find astounding and I’m completely gobsmacked by.
But let’s get to today’s question in more detail. It’s a question we get all the time around the world really and therefore, if you’re watching this, you’re probably wondering the same thing. Can a do not resuscitate (DNR) order be placed on your loved one in ICU in Wisconsin in particular, because that’s where Grace Schara was in hospital, without your or your loved one’s consent? The answer is no, it is not legal.
That is once again, we’ve done some research, otherwise, I wouldn’t be publishing this blog post. It’s not only that we’ve done research, but it’s also, we are doing this on a day by day basis, and we have been doing it for a long time. Since 2013, we’ve been <a href="https://intensivecarehotline.com/podcast/icu-wanted-to-transfer-my-dad-in-the-ltac-facility-but-i-was-able-to-keep-him-in-the-icu-your-professional-consulting-...
