Sorry, but in the USA you don't have to have a doctor sign your DNR.

I would have taken it as your PDoc did, I think, from what you said. This was a definite acting out attempt to jerk his chain (which you did quite well I might say )

I've had many DNRs in my history. It is MY choice that if the doctors feel I am at a point where whatever is going on isn't going to improve ever and I go into some type of cardiac or respiratory arrest, they don't try to bring me back. (I don't have one right now though.)

Your DNR should be on file with your lawyer, along with your advanced directives forms that are more specific with your intentions (spells out when to try, how long to try life support, when to take you off, or when not to put you on at all.) A copy of any of this, including your assignment of a durable power of attorney, should also be kept handy for you to grab (or another person to find) should you be in that accident you seem worried about.

No, I saw it as a cry for help. I hope your T is able to work through your dissatisfaction with life with you. Take care!
