Extremely important to read is that experts claim doctors and nurses need more training in how to care for people who are dying because wrong diagnosis can result in withdrawal of food and fluids when they might otherwise survive. Shockingly the decision do not resuscitate is falling to trainee junior doctors with no countersigning by consultants, in one in six cases where patients were not expected to survive there was no evidence of any discussion between doctors and the patients relatives about whether treatment would be limited.
