Hi everyone,
My gran was diagnosed with bulbar onset mnd in January. She’s already struggling a lot to talk, chokes and has agreed to have a peg tube placed for when she needs it. Her limbs are all still working fine.
Recently while in hospital a doctor told her in a quite offhand manner that ‘obviously she wouldn’t be resuscitated because of her condition, if it came to that’
Does anyone know if this is true?? I thought this was the individuals choice and not taken out of their hands by a Dr?
Or does it depend on what the person is suffering from?
Thanks for any information.
