Today's topic is crucial for everyone, regardless of age—the Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. As the name suggests, a DNR is a medical directive that instructs healthcare providers not to perform CPR if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. DG shares personal experiences and thought-provoking insights into why some people, including herself, choose a DNR. With discussions on the impact of CPR, real-life outcomes, and the emotional and ethical dilemmas faced by both families and medical professionals, we aim to equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your end-of-life care. Tune in for a thorough exploration of the realities and myths surrounding CPR and DNRs, the legalities involved, and tips on how to make your wishes known. Prepare to hear stories, statistics, and expert opinions that may challenge what you think you know about resuscitation and end-of-life care.Connect with Aging with Grace at agingwithgraceinfo.org

Scott Schara just announced a historic lawsuit and is here to explain the details. Scott and Cindy's daughter, Grace (19), was given a lethal combination of medications and, against the family's wishes, was also labeled DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). They hope to prevent more unnecessary deaths and to warn others about patient advocacy and deadly protocols. 

'Grace's dad', Scott Schara is the founder and president of Our Amazing Grace's Light Shines On, Inc., and is an advocate exposing how hospital systems and personnel are being used for evil. He has been fighting for truth and raising awareness about government corruption, big pharma, and dangerous hospital protocols. Scott and Cindy's daughter, Grace (19), was given a lethal combination of medications and, against the family's wishes, was also labeled DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Scott is hoping to prevent more unnecessary deaths and to warn others about patient advocacy. He is in-studio today with the latest updates.

Several years ago, it was a conspiracy theory to say that future biological weapons could target genotypes and phenotypes -- now it is in fact possible to do that and carry out targeted genocide in the process. Thanks to advanced DNA databases, the government will soon know everything else about you that they don't already know: your family chart, your ancestry, what you look like, your health history, your inclination to follow orders, and various drugs and bioweapons that can kill you.

About my Guest: Grace's dad, Scott Schara, is working tirelessly to bring his daughter's story to all corners of this country, and even across the world to Australia, to help prevent anyone else from going through the pain of losing a loved one at the hands of medical personnel. More importantly, he hopes Grace's story will stir people's hearts to turn to the Lord – the only one who will protect them into eternity. Grace, a 19-year-old girl with Down syndrome was killed by the actions of unethical medical personnel. Scott had to watch Grace die on FaceTime because he was prevented from being with her in the hospital, and no doctor or nurse would help save her life because of an illegal Do Not Resuscitate order placed on Grace without family consent. The good news is Grace's work here on earth isn't done. It's only beginning. The love she demonstrated to everyone when she was with us continues to live on through Scott and his family. What we Discussed: - Grace's Life and Humour - Exposing the C Scam - The Corrupt Hospitals - The Push to get Grace on a Ventalitor - How a Hospital can get about $300K for Killing a Patient - Why a $50 meter was better than the Hospitals $50K one - An Armed Guard Removed Scott from the Hospital - Strapping Grace to the Bed and putting her in Nappies - The Lethal drugs the Hospital administered - DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) put on without the families knowledge - Preparing a Legal case - 1,000 Billboards - The Agenda to Remove Old and Disabled - A Hospital that treats patients correctly How to Contact Scott https://ouramazinggrace.net/home ouramazinggrace.substack.com More about Roy: All Podcasts and Social Media https://bio.link/podcaster https://awakeningpodcast.org/ Video https://www.bitchute.com/channel/y2XWI0VCPVqX/

The Biden Administration is falling apart. Republicans can make big gains. The Party is improving. But a lot of the candidates still don't understand exactly what they need to do, or they're too frightened to really do it, or they're still surrounded by clueless advisors and comms specialists and grifters who push them in the wrong direction. Speaking of grifters, listeners to this program know that Vernon Jones is one. But there are alternatives. One of those alternatives is Kandiss Taylor. What's her plan to make Georgia a better state and keep it from going the way of Virginia? She joins us to discuss. Scott Schara is the father of a 19-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome, Grace, whom he believes was killed by her hospital. Grace had Covid, but even then, Scott says she should have been fine. He believes she was killed by a combination of questionable medications given to her by hospital staff. Grace was labeled as a DNR – Do Not Resuscitate – against her family's wishes, and then was overdosed on a combination of Precedex, Lorazepam, and morphine, all within a 30-minute window. Scott Schara joins us. It's been almost a week since Scott Quiner was rescued from Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota and flown to Texas to be treated by a doctor who isn't eager to kill him. Obviously, there's still a long road to recovery, but we're very hopeful that with real care Scott Quiner will eventually wake up and even join us on this program. Scott's wife Anne joins us with an update on his condition. Deanna Lorraine discusses the new globalist plot to harass the unvaccinated through financial regulations.

We discuss Scott and Cindy's daughter, Grace (19), who had Downs Syndrome and passed away on October 13. She died at a COVID hospital after a doctor labeled her DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) against the family's wishes, and then proceeded to overdose her on Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine within a 30-minute window. These meds should never be used together and warning labels (black boxes) on medications indicate as much.  Daily podcast, relevant articles on issues pertaining to Christians and more can be found on Stand Up For The Truth.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by attorneys Michael McKeon, of McKeon Law, and Mark Kovacich, of Odegaard Kovacich & Snipes, to discuss the topics of wrongful prolongation of life, DNRs, self-determination, and a case in which Mr. McKeon and Mr. Kovacich represented a man whose end-of-life instructions – known as an advanced directive – were ignored. What is the impact of this case? What are the legal and ethical questions? And why is end-of-life planning critical?   Today, Aaron, Mark, and Michael discuss end-of-life decisions, as well as what can happen when an individual’s rights are ignored. Michael and Mark talk about their success in a Montana court after their client, Rodney Knoepfle’s wishes were disregarded and he was resuscitated after he coded while in the hospital.  Michael, Mark, and Aaron talk about Mr. Knoepfle’s traumatic experiences, why this case matters, and the importance of communication regarding end-of-life decisions, such as DNR orders. Today’s conversation delves into the notions of advanced directives, DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders, patient’s rights, medical mistakes and negligence, moral and ethical concerns, and the P.O.L.S.T (physician orders and life sustaining treatments) database system.   A graduate of Villanova and the University of Montana School of Law, Michael has focused his practice on representing those who have been injured due to the negligence of others. Throughout his career, Mr. McKeon has pursued claims involving workplace accidents, personal injuries, insurance claims, products liability and medical malpractice. Michael has been selected by the National Trial Lawyers Association as a Top 40 Under 40 Trial Lawyer and as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Association. He is admitted to the Montana and U.S. District Courts of Montana and is a member of the State Bar of Montana.   Mark, a principal at Odegaard Kovacich & Snipes, joined the firm in 2000 and has focused his practice on representing plaintiffs in cases involving asbestos and environmental claims, environmental litigation, serious personal injury, products liability, workers’ compensation and safe workplace litigation. Mark was named Trial Lawyer of the Year by the Montana Trial Lawyers Association in 2005 and 2019 and received the association’s Appellate Advocacy Award in both 2008 and 2016. Mr. Kovacich has successfully represented hundreds of plaintiffs in high profile cases and has been consistently recognized as a Rising Star by Mountain States Super Lawyers.   Listen in now!   To learn more about Mr. McKeon and the McKeon Law firm, please click here.

Louis Avallone explains the volume of information about the corruption of the Presidential election is so huge, involves so many different people at so many different levels of the election process, and impacts the outcomes of so many different states. People have been signing affidavits (sworn to be true under penalty of law) and are now talking to the FBI about what they know and saw. Stephen Parr explains while this huge volume of information is becoming known, for some unexplainable reason, the Democrats are absolutely silent about this same information, as if ignoring it will make it just disappear.According to testimony, a truck driver drove a full truck load of already completed absentee ballots from New York to Pennsylvania prior to Nov. 3. It is reasonable for a few people to be in New York voting absentee in Pennsylvania, but hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanian residents and all their ballots end up on the same truck? Is anyone asking the Democrats to explain that? Another USPS worker also testified that they were ordered to backdate absentee ballots that were received after the deadline. Not only is that illegal for election law, it is also mail fraud. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, talk about how there are so many reasons families may be deciding to do Christmas celebrations differently this year.Stephen Parr shares information about how we handled the Coronavirus and the way the data has been evaluated and reported. Bottom line is we quarantined the healthy, destroyed our economy and our schools, and did not save the sick. In a New Jersey study of COVID deaths showed about half of the hospitalized patients died. What is never reported related to these deaths is that 89% of them already had DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) instructions before they got COVID. That is because they already had a terminal medical condition.Van Morrison, an Irish musician who first started performing in the 1960s (“Brown Eyed Girl”), is releasing new songs which are anti-lockdown, protest songs. The income from these songs will go to aid musicians who have not been able to perform and make a living because of the shutdowns. The current releases are "Born to Be Free," "As I Walked Out”, and "No More Lockdowns”. Eric Clapton is joining Morrison with “Stand And Deliver”, due out this month. Both Clapton and Morrison are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

On this caregiver radio program, Pamela D Wilson, caregiving expert talks about the meaning of Do Not Resuscitate and answers the question What is a DNR? Guest Dr. Richard Balaban from Cambridge Health Alliance shares information from his article A Physician's Guide to Talking about End-of-Life Care.

Should you have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order on file for your loved one? Should you have one for yourself? Let's talk about that today on "Let's Talk Dementia."

What does DNR actually mean? Have you thought it out and are you prepared, in advance, of any need to deal with this possibility? Understand DNR and get your wishes put together long before you might be faced with decisions during crisis.

The DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order, otherwise referred to as an AND (Allow Natural Death), only apply to situations where a patient is no longer lucid. Either the patient's heart has stopped or the patient is no longer to breathe on their own, and the patient has determined ahead of time that they do not want any further life-saving actions taken.  DNRs are critical medical documents, however, they are one of the most misunderstood documents related to end of life. In this episode of Asset Protection Today, Bill explains how the DNR can be abused. 

Today's episode is yet another necessity.  It's about a very touchy topic.  This week is National Estate Planning week and although I'm not a lawyer or advisor, I've learned about some of the things we need in our lives that will help protect ourselves and our family.  It's about something we usually don't want to think about, let alone talk about with our loved ones.  It's about planning your final wishes and leaving instructions about your health care decisions.   If something bad was going to happen to you tomorrow, would your loved ones know what to do?  Do they know your final wishes?  Or, if you were hospitalized do they know what you'd like for them to do?  There are 4 documents everyone should have in place in their lives right now.  No worries, I'm guilty of not having these either and will begin this week to get them in place. 1) A Durable Power of Attorney 2) Advance Medical Directives        i)A Healthcare Proxy       ii)A Living Will      iii)A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) 3) A Will 4) A Letter of Instruction   Today I will cover each of the above.  So grab a pen and paper and take some good notes.   Don't leave your loved ones in the dark on this very important matter.   I hope you never have to use any of these documents for decades to come, but, it's better to have everything in place so that you and your family can rest well knowing you've dotted all of the I's and crossed all of the T's.     Please stay healthy and happy my friends.   Love,   Dawn-Marie XO   Stay in touch: Instagram:  @dawnmariesfashions Facebook:  dawnmariemutell  

A brief interview with Sheryl Crosier and Kayre Perez at the National Right to Life Convention in Kansas City on "Simon's Law" and parental rights. “Simon’s Law” is named for a medically fragile baby born with Trisomy 18 and apnea (breathing difficulty), who died when resuscitation was denied. His devastated parents, Sheryl and Scott Crosier, only learned later that Simon’s hospital chart contained a DNR [Do Not Resuscitate] that was never discussed, much less permitted by them. They have mounted a grassroots crusade to alert parents and enact this law to protect parents’ rights. https://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2017/02/simons-law-protects-parental-rights-especially-for-medically-fragile-kids/

Welcome, Medicare Nation! I’m excited about our guest and our important topic today. We’re discussing the confusion surrounding advanced directives. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you can’t speak for yourself and are in an emergency health situation? Who will express your wishes, and will the health care professionals understand? Dr. Ferdinando (Fred) Mirarchi is the ER Director of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center-Hamot. He has a solution!  Tell us about health care directives and the issues that commonly arise when people come to the ER. There are three types of directives: living will, DNR (Do Not Resuscitate order), and POLST (Physicians’ Order for Life Sustaining Treatment). All three of these have safety issues surrounding them, and all three bring questions. When are they to be followed? None of us know when an emergency situation may arise, so when do we carry these documents with us? Even medical professionals don’t understand these orders, but no one really wants to raise the safety concerns. What happens when someone comes to the ER with no accompanying family and no papers? It’s not just an ER situation, but anywhere in the hospital, for any medical procedure. “You, the patient, are asked if you have a Living Will, then you are subjected to whatever their understanding is as to what that means.” About 78% of the time, physicians assume that a Living Will equals a DNR, but in 64% of cases, a DNR is strictly an end of life order and does not apply to critical care emergencies. Medical professionals assume if you have any advanced directive that you’re an end of life care patient and don’t want care. Many don’t understand the difference between being critically ill and being in an “end of life” situation. If you have advanced directive documents, should you bring them with you to any scheduled procedure, like a colonoscopy? Most physicians would say YES, but I say NO. Keep your document in a safe place so that it doesn’t compromise your care and treatment. Pull it out when you need it, but then you face a retrieval issue. Will the proper medical professional have access to your papers when they need it? We have a process that can insure that those documents are retrieved when needed. Most ER doctors are forced to look at a paper and make an interpretation, based on THEIR understanding, which might not be right for you. Can you explain the difference in a Living Will and a DNR? A Living Will is a legal document, not a medical document. It is for use in situations when someone can’t speak for themselves, develops a terminal condition, or is in a persistent vegetative state. A DNR is specifically for when someone is found with no pulse or breathing, and no CPR is desired. There is a common misunderstanding that a DNR means no medical treatment at all, when it most often applies to end of life care. When someone has a Living Will and the medical professional assumes it’s a DNR, then it can affect care and treatment of any medical emergency. “It’s a coin toss with a 50% chance of being treated or not being treated.” You’ve developed a solution to help people explain their wishes about receiving treatment. Can you explain? At the Institute of Health Care Directives, we have created ID cards containing detailed information to be understood by any medical professional in any hospital. It gives patients a voice to guide their care and treatment. Your ID card has info and directives linked with a QR code that accesses a video recording of your wishes. The recorded video is in a database and can be pulled up on any smart phone for any medical situation you may encounter. Will this ID card work in any medical office, hospital, or ER? Yes, and it’s in clear and understandable medical language so that any professional will know what to do. Can you explain how to find out more and what the service includes? Visit our website: www.institutehcd.com or email us: info@institutehcd.com. You can even call us at 814-490-6584. Dr. Mirarchi is offering a 10% discount to the first 100 MN callers on either of the available packages. The Basic package is for healthy, young people, and the VIP package is for those with multiple medical problems. The VIP package gives you access to an on-call doctor 24/7/365. You can ask any question or any medical professional treating you can call for information about your condition. Our solution is a much clearer and simpler process and has received great response from physicians. The goal is to plan for when you are critically ill and (separately) for when you’re at the end of life. There is a study coming out in 3-6 months on a 15 state trial, and the preliminary results are amazing. This is truly a game-changer in the health care industry.
