Wow thats different. I never heard of a psychiatrist giving out a Do Not Resusitate (DNR) form let alone sign it. here in the USA as far as I know DNR's are for physicians (physical doctors) and hospitals to give out So that the person can sign one if they don't want to be given life support measures if the situation calls for being brought back from the brink of death with respirators, monitors and heart shock machines (yes I know thats not the correct name of that machine but at the moment I can't think of the right word) and so on. I know if I had ever asked a Psychiatrist (Pdoc) or any other therapy professional for a DNR they would think I was going to kill myself and most likely hospitalize me for at least the 72 hour observational time period.

That is so cool that psychiatrists (Pdoc) give out DNR's where you are.
