WTH?
So when you put doner on your driver's license you give them authorization to kill you by taking and sell your organs.
I stopped adding doner to my license years ago. 😳

I am sorry to be the one to tell you this, but DNR's are just as bad.
80 year old woman comes into my ER with Congestive Heart Failure. Swollen ankles, with pitting edema.
In the past we would give her a diuretic IV, and in a day or two she would be fine and go home. But, after she was coerced into having a DNR put on her chart, the Dr looks at me and says, "She's a DNR Sheila. Let her go."
Bullshit.
I made sure she knew she could resend that DNR anytime she wanted to, so she did, and he had to give her the diuretic and admit her. She was discharged the next day.
Some (many) of these MDs need to step aside and let the nurses take care of business.
There are good and bad in both professions, but the preponderance of detached arrogance among the MD's is profound 😣.
