"The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds."

Lois McLatchie Miller I’m going to stop you and your opportunism there. No one dreams of having a hip replacement either.

I once witnessed a Do Not Resuscitate conversation as follows: - Consultant informed by junior team that one patient "needs a DNAR" - note that the reasons are rarely discussed in any detail at all - Doctor approaches bed on ward round, in bay in view of other patients
