Otherwise they will do all possible.

And even though this is a thread about DJT, every single person reading this needs to be aware of how DNR orders work.

If you go to the ER they will do everything medically possible to save you, unless, (and this is huge) they actually see a valid DNR order.

On the other hand, if you are in some kind of care, maybe you have cancer, maybe you are very old, you're in a nursing home/assisted living place, something like that, then they will probably have made you sign something about continuing care. DNR, or perhaps do all possible, whatever. But in the ER they almost NEVER have access to such.

So as semi-cute as this is, it's not realistic. Not for DJT and not for anyone here.

If unavailable, cash up front.

If qualified, we can get him out of the straightjacket.

Then Nurse Ratchett can ask when he first noticed that he was the king of the universe.
