How about this:
Nursing home calls for pt. w/ SOB & <SaO2. On arrival, they state "She's a full code and her sats are in the 70's". PMH: CHF, COPD, MI, CAD, Pneumonia, UTI Exam: < LOC, RR - 50, HR - 130 SR, BP 80/40, SaO2 68%, Temp 37.1, lungs full w/ scattered wheezes, HT inaudible. O2 by NRB increased sats to 75%. In truck, pt. given versed 5mg, anectine 50mg followed by tube placement and norcuron 5mg followed by infusion. Albuterol was given by inline neb. Lasix 60mg IV was also given after BP increased, as was 4mg MS. Vitals at arrival to ER were RR - controlled, HR ~110 SR, BP 120/60 SaO2 91%. LOC remained decreased and LS remained rel. unchanged except for abation of wheezing. With a busy ER awaiting our arrival, pt was transferred to an awaiting full team. Several minutes later, a visibly unhappy nurse informed us that in fact the pt. was a DNR, and produced a copy from the hospital chart. Pt was admitted to ICU where she died a few days later. Upon calling the nursing home to inquire, the response was "Oh yes, here it is. Did I tell you it was a full code? Sorry." Click.
I think that nurse should have gotten the bill.
Once overhead:
Nursing home nurses were either the bottom of their class (too dumb to get a job elsewhere), or the top of their class (absolutely not one iota of common sense).
