Unilateral DNR Orders in Louisiana

ProPublica has a powerful story about doctors giving patients "do-not-resuscitate orders without family or patient consent, sometimes overruling families that wanted everything done for their loved one." That seems inconsistent with Causey and related Louisiana law.

In other cases families reported that "staff pressured them into accepting hospice care for their loved ones who had COVID-19, even as some questioned or pushed back against the suggestion."
