a 1999 study based on the responses of more than 600 US-based physicians—both specialists and generalists from private practice and academic medical centers—appeared in the journal, Resuscitation. The overwhelming majority of those physicians did not want cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed in the context of incurable illness, including Alzheimer’s disease, quadriplegia, metastasized cancers, and end-stage damage to the heart, lung, liver, or kidney. The doctors agreed that they wanted CPR only if they were otherwise in good health. - www.kevinmd.com
