According to news reports, we have been condemning elderly patients to a “do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation” order – a DNACPR – without so much as a discussion. The anger centred on care homes in East Sussex and Wales whose elderly residents were categorised en masse as not being appropriate for resuscitation.
