I have mentioned on this glorious site the "S" (death) word on numerous occasions.
Now before I ask the following question, please everyone.
I am OK, but the following question intrigues me..
Just say I had to go into Hospital for a complex operation with major risks.
It was discussed with me the chances of surviving during the operation.
Now the with me I don't want to have a weaker lifestyle than what I have now.
Heavens No.
I instruct the medics that if I take a turn for the worst Do Not Recusitate.
What would be the procedure for this be, would I, I am presuming have to sign a disclaimer?
I would also instruct that if they need anything to take any organ they can make use of.
I emphasise again, I am fully Compos Mentis.
I am not thinking or going to attempt to end my life.
Thank you Folks

RossThe only reason I asked this question is because I don't want to go through any future life, struggling.I am fully Compos Mentis, I have had a good day today. Been for a drink in pub. A lot of people cannot do this sort of thing, and I ought to be grateful that I can.But there is something missing... I don't enjoy life the way I am.If I had to go through an operation where I would be more miserable in life than before because of any misfortune.I would definitely as DNRRoss.. Again I am OK. Thank youTo All At Scope. Keep Up The Brilliant Work.Thanking you0

Is there some way we can privately chat please?
Alls OK. But I'd like a few answers if you could please. Libby all I got is a phone. I don't posses a computer. So if there is a way. I could pre-prepare (now that's bad English grammar even for my standards) what I need to say ask for advice. Thank you0 -
Hello @oldngrumpy that's okay, I'm afraid we can't speak with you on the phone, but remember you can always private message the community team, or send an email to community@scope.org.uk0
