The woman signed an agreement agreeing that life-saving efforts would not be performed (rather like a do not resuscitate order). As awful as this 911 incident may look, it's what she agreed to.
I still don't understand a place having a policy that says no one can give aid. I mean, then why do they even have a nurse on site?
I don't know all the details of this case, but there are facilities that provide Palliative Care...people are there just to be made comfortable until they die. It's also not unusual for someone in a care or hospital setting to have a Do Not Resuscitate Order. Not everyone aspires to live like a vegetable.
and depending on her condition too. if you are suffering and in pain and it's finally over, do you really want to be brought back?
