Would getting a DNR be suspicious

[lucas28481]

I'm afraid of going into a coma if i fail hanging (or another suicide method) I'm thinking of getting a DNR. I read on a few websites that it is usually given to people who have a terminal illness or serious medical condition. I don't have any of these and i'm 20 years old. Would the doctor find it suspicious why i'm getting one, and call authorities. I have no reason i could give to the doctor other than cbt

I don't think it's suspicious at all. Some would actually see it as responsible. Almost like buying life insurance, you're just thinking about your future.

Here in the US its protected information and cannot be shared without your consent.
And it's your right to make that decision without being coerced by anyone. You can sue the shit out of anyone who violates that and you will win.

I am afraid that the DNR wouldn't work in that situation. Doctors will face serious consequences if they don't do CPR on me whether I have a DNR or not. I don't know how it works in other countries though.

What's a DNR? I only know of Donetsk People's Republic in transliteration.

DNR will be ignored if not in sound mind.

It means do not resuscitate in the case someone dies, they have a DNR stating they want no life saving meaaures done

I wonder this like I wondered about a will. This is kinda more annoying because it's hard to put into place needing a healthcare provider etc etc. I have been wanting one so if I'm found alive/almost dead, I won't be resuscitated. I'm not sure exactly how having one documented works with first responders but I was thinking of putting it on a note on my body even though it probably wouldn't be honored.

I think a dnr can be ignored if you are found attempting to end your own life. Natural causes is one thing, but if you're found hanging they may be allowed to perform life saving measures.

Which country are you in?

Here in the UK it wouldn't seem strange, just in case you suffered an accident which left you with brain injuries etc. in fact during the recent CoronaVirus restrictions many families were horrified to discover that medical staff had marked the files of some elderly patient DNR without even telling them.

Luxembourg, i can't find any thing relating to a DNR online

DNRs are respected mostly for people going into risky surgeries in hospitals. The rest is usually ignored, especially for suicide attempts.
