    Peeps Mcarthur replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    By LydiaGreen How did the group putting the stats together decide that it was "against the person's wishes". Or is it just that they had no living will. Either way it sounds like a spin-doctor and...

  7. The Right to Die?

    Peeps Mcarthur replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing
