NOTARISED STATEMENT REFUSING NO CODE STATUS on any Hospital admission.

Important to have notarized statement absolutely refusing "NO CODE" status (aka "Do Not Resuscitate").
If not in place in the chart and copy given to Specialists(s) concerned there can be pressure from overworked Hospital juniors to persuade relatives to agree to DNR if patient is costing too much time and money..
