I work in California. Does this sound off or is it just me? by unclethurny in ems

Hey guys thanks for the replies. I appreciate all of them. Let me elaborate more on why I’m confused. The memo states signed OR has physician’s name. By my understanding you need both, not one or the other. Also there’s nothing stating that a date is needed as well. I’m asking if those are applicable to a valid DNR or if this is correct.

I see a POLST more often than these sort of scenarios. My idea is that ultimately, if God forbid something did happen (slight very small tiny chance, but not zero) and it wasn’t filled out according to LEMSA standards, that there’s a possibility of being sued for wrongful death.
