Not such a brilliant idea

The Daily Mail has been attempting to outrage the nation with its campaign against involuntary DNAR notices, particularly those applied to elderly people.
    But I see it has had the decency to slip in a few comments from people who know that attempting resuscitation amounts to something akin to a violent assault with a very low (maybe 10%) chance of putting the patient in intensive care, alive but badly damaged and with not a brilliant chance of surviving.
