A lot of helpful information here for me. When I asked my physician for a DNR document to keep in my apartment, he refused. He told me going into a hospital with a DNR is as good as a signed death warrant. He went on to tell me that hospitals will let you die from a bad case of the flu if you have a DNR. I don't know if he was exaggerating or not, but it scared me away from a DNR document. I'll look into the other options mentioned here; I live in New York State.
