CPR, nursing homes, & recorded 911 call hysteria

Family: Woman denied CPR wanted no intervention:

"It was our beloved mother and grandmother's wish to die naturally and without any kind of life prolonging intervention," the family said. "We understand that the 911 tape of this event has caused concern, but our family knows that mom had full knowledge of the limitations of Glenwood Gardens and is at peace."

and

"We regret that this private and most personal time has been escalated by the media," the statement said.

Good for the family in understanding the trade-offs between lifespan and quality of life.
