NOT GIVEN WATER OR FLUIDS ON A DRIP ONCE DNR PLACED ON YOU EVEN IF NON-DYING PATIENT
Sunday Telegraph Oct 16 2011
My father died because of lack of care
A doctor has spoken of how his previously healthy father died in hospital - partly, he says, because of the lack of care he received at the hands of NHS staff.
...Severely dehydrated from lack of fluids, Mr Rodin, at this stage still lucid and conscious, was gasping for water. Adam and Bridget gave him a drink through a straw.
A nurse loudly told them off, clearly within Mr Rodin’s earshot, saying: “We don’t give fluids to a patient who is not for resuscitation.”
