This is infuriating!!!

Unfortunately, I’ve witnessed this same mindset in a few callous younger physicians when Down Syndrome patients developed leukemias. The medical establishment’s devaluation of the neurodivergent is real issue.

I hope her father got complete medical records and went to the state board and a good attorney. A an unauthorized DNR for a 19 year old is beyond my comprehension. Hopefully, that level of depravity overrides any liability protections.
