I know that as a health care proffessional one must do all you can for a patient, including attempting a resusatation. However unless I am witnessed colapsing by an ALS trained person can you please leave me alone to pass away peacefully. I would rarther not lie motionless unable to speak being stabed and beaten black and blue by well meaning people. I would rarther not have to suffer 100's of joules passed through my body. Then probably die anyway but if I do come through the progosis is poor, days on ITU, more arrests? Permanant brain dammage. Untill things change however I will have to silently carry on.
