My title says it all. Since I have two terminal illnesses I chose to be a no code. I have a living will and durable power of attorney that states what I want done and not done.
I don't like the idea of dying twice, once when CPR is done to revive me and once when I am finally allowed to die.
I know this is a subject that most people want to deal with but it's a fact. We all die. I don't want to do it twice.
When I went into a coma about 4 years ago, the doctor asked the doctor about a ventilator. My daughter followed my wishes but my life. I'm glad my daughter chose the right treatment.

I hope you have a living will so your wishes will get carried out.

I would handle it the same way. It's better for everyone to know ahead of time exactly what your wishes are, so what you are doing is smart.

That is a good way of looking at it. I wouldn't want to either. I am just so curious I want to be alive for as long as I can be. Guess I should take better care of myself.

Sorry, a no code is a short name for no life saving treatments to be done if the patient is already dying.
