My father passed away 4 years ago. My question is about his actual death. I am the oldest child, executriss of his estate & his primary care giver for the last 15 years of his life.
My younger sister signed a DNR without my knowledge. I found out by overhearing nursing staff talk.
I left the hospital for a shower & stuff to come back & spend the night. While I was gone (45min), my sister had cardiac meds withheld & he passed.
Can she do this? How could the hospital not consult all the family?
The nurses & physician notes (I have records) plainly state she withheld meds, & "The Family" wad at the bedside at the time of death
