Doctors at Dorset's Royal Bournemouth Hospital signed a "do not resuscitate" order on patient June Brook without informing either her or her family. (BBC; Telegraph)
This is the n+1 case of this type to be publicly reported in the UK over past two years. But it seems perhaps a little more troubling than some of the others:
- Brook had been admitted with sickness and diarrhea. But during her stay the order was issued to allow her to die if she needed resuscitating.
- The order wrongly states the family were "not available."
- The order states CPR would be inappropriate because Brook has dementia.
While Brook was discharged without needing CPR, the hospital has apologized and will investigate to learn from the incident.
