DNR or Full Code? Real Talk on End-of-Life Choices
Hosts Michele and Donna talk with Nurse Melissa Bergamo about end-of-life planning, explaining the difference between DNR and full code and how the DMOST form (every state has it's own form, easy to find online) lets you specify treatments like intubation, IV fluids, and comfort measures. The episode covers legal and family dynamics, practical tips (where to keep your paperwork, naming an advocate, and updating orders), and personal stories from caregivers and clinicians that illustrate why planning matters.
