Hope
Today I spoke with a social worker and was asked if I would like the hospital staff to perform full code for my brother as he may not fully understand his current medical condition, long term alcohol abuse of ten high wiskey.His sister and I are the only family he has to speek for him ,she drinks too as did our mother, you see my brother has been told to stop or die at least three times before. I see no recovery for his current condition, no going home this time.....high amonia/ 10 liters oxygen CVNICU 3 weeks with complete liver failure...... so my question is this, when he starts bleeding in his throat or elsewhere internaly or has cardiac arrest.. should we full code
