Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Our mother lives 300 miles away. She was taken to the hospital from her assisted living facility due to a low pulse. Currently it is 48 bpm with a BP of 189/51. She is 95 years old, has a DNR request and stated that she does not want a pacemaker. The surgeon has scheduled the procedure for tomorrow, assuming he can convince both the patient and her family to agree.
