Opinions/takeaway points:

A suicide attempt should always equal a DNR. It’s the purpose of the initial act (suicide), and anyone resuscitating is going against their wishes

If going thru a separation or divorce, make sure to designate a power of attorney who is not your estranged whore wife

If contemplating suicide attempt to get necessary rehab/detox, don’t do it in jail if it’s opiods. Maybe something life threatening like alcohol with seizures/delirium tremors, but not opioid withdrawal, which obviously sucks but is not life threatening.

Someone who says HBO will be effective three years out from an anoxic brain injury is a snake oil salesman who probably is trying to drum up business to pay off his hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It’s not like an ankle ulcer from pvd

Dr Phil still sucks

Josh was never resuscitated. He never stopped breathing.
The majority of people who survive a suicide attempt are grateful they survived.
I am in contact with several people who are doing hbot for their loved one with an anoxic brain injury and it is helping. Josh's current condition is from lack of any type of stimulation not from the original injury. If he would have been given therapy and treatment early on he most likely would be in a better condition. Nobody can guarantee how he would respond now.
My point is it was recommended he do about 2 months of hbot. Isn't his life valuable enough to give him the 2 months of treatment to know with absolute certainty how he responds? The money was already donated to pay for it.

not true, way too absolute of a claim. many suicide attempts are more like cries for attention rather than true intent to die. they could even be accidental, it would be difficult to know if it was even an attempt at suicide, or an attempt to avoid custody or something else in certain situations.
many are depressed/psychotic/intoxicated or otherwise in a condition where we would determine they did not have the capacity to make decisions.
I would agree if they had filed DNR/DNI paperwork, had copies of it with them and had DNR/DNI tattooed on them.

pretty much even arriving at the emergency room or hospital in a critical or severe condition is implied consent for treatment unless a proxy/documents are present to dictate otherwise.
