Both of my parents had a DNR. Do Not Resuscitate. I was with my Dad when he died in 2009. My brother & nephew were with my Mum when she died in 2017. We found out Mum had Stage 4 cancer a month before she died. When told the diagnosis she was elated believe it or not. Sad to leave us but elated that she would be in heaven shortly & see my Dad & my sister & the loved ones who passed away before.
Sending u love ❤
Oh I hope so! What a reunion that will be!
😅
My grandma became sick suddenly and had passed within 48 hours. Luckily she got to die at home. But her DNR paperwork was out in the open on her dresser. The last conscious thing she said was “I want Jesus.” She was gone about 8 hours later. When I got to her house that night I cried with my family and then said “I’ll bet she danced and Irish jig through those pearly gates.” I miss her like a limb but I know she’s happy and healthy and fully restored.
Faith is truly a gift❤
That mom raised beautiful daughters ❤
We are never ready to lose a loved one... And mothers especially. Truly Rose's daughters gave her the gift of letting her go rather than prolonging her agony. Those decisions are so hard, and frequently the patient knows better than the survivor...
I lost a daughter to cancer recently... and she was wise beyond her years... So I honored her wishes and she passed so peacefully... at home, in my arms with her dog by her side... I was both traumatized and absolutely elated. That may sound strange and callus... but her horrific suffering was finally over. No more pain. She was whole again... I have a DNR and came very close this year, but I'm still here. Now more than ever I say let me go when it's time. I don't want to be in some sort of limbo begging for death and unable to communicate it. Be kind. Love me enough to let me go...
To Rose's family. I pray for your Peace. She's resting whole and happy where she is. Rejoice in that. Miss her of course, but know she'd not want you to wallow down in it. She's ok. At Peace. And so should you be.
Rest In Eternal Heavenly Peace Miss Rose.
This is the 1st episode that actually made me cry, with the sisters taking care to support each other so they're not alone.
The way that young doctor talked to the daughters was so sensitive yet honest. Impressive bedside manner ❤
I was going to say the same thing! We need more Doctors like him. Wonderful human being!
That's why I have a Living Will. It took a long time to convince my late husband & kids why I insisted on it. I do not want them to have to make a decision that they have to live with.
My kids already know that unless there is a 💯 percent chance that I would get better, they aren't to try to prolong my life, I'm in my 60 s so I don't want to suffer at the end, who does.
@@susanengel-ix8bl
I have a Living Will which everyone in my family as well as my GP knows about. I find the people around the patient's bed suffer more than the patient who is medicated. I don't want to do that to my loved ones.
In the interviews after recovery Kevin seems like the kind of guy you'd meet in your local pub and if you buy him a pint he'd tell you the most interesting stories you've ever heard.
I hope he's still going strong, this was filmed in 2012 after all.
My two sisters and I got the unexpected news that our 84 year old Dad died in theatre recently. He had a DNR in place. Knowing he was alone broke us. Mum left us 21 years ago. Even though this is an old episode, I'm so glad Rose had her loved ones with her.
perhaps you can take comfort that he had angels surrounding him. Each and everyone of those medical professionals had yr Dad's best interests in their hearts and treated him as tenderly as they would treat their own family members. So sorry for your loss.
You as a family finally have her the peace of mind she needed so she could pass away so peacefully.
To the sisters your mom absolutely loved you and she raised you well ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The way the medic listed kevins injuries and treatment on route is impressive, given in a commanding clear voice, everyone listened and had a complete summary of his status, it was very impressive and professional.
Perfection! Just the way you want it. There should always be someone like this as part of the team to ensure you get the best care.
The medic is actually a doctor. They are part of the responding teams.
I was thinking the same thing.
She is a flight physician
I'm a nurse with 30 years experience, I can say without a dealt elderly patients know when they are dying and are getting closer to the end, they don't need anyone to tell them, in some ways they have a sick sense about it all.
To this day I am still nursing and I love all my elderly patients, bless their little cotton socks.
My sister and I had been looking after our mum, she was palliative. She knew when it was her time, asking us to take to hospital. She passed away five days later 😢
My mom has been a nurse for over 30 years and this includes working hospice, memory care, ER, and interim rehab. She has described many times how patients before they die suddenly seems like they are getting better and perk up then decline quickly
Any medical explanation for this or just a mental state?
@@ceevee369 they don't know for sure but there are theories. It's usually referred to as terminal lucidity or rallying.Some argue that a rise of neurotransmitters could be released from the brain in response to deteriorating health. Others suggest that the body might be attempting to prepare for the final stages of life or that the surge is connected to the patient’s emotional state. There has been very little research done.
@@ceevee369look up terminal lucidity, the rally or the surge. A great channel that talks about this is @hospicenursejulie or @hospicenursepenny
Yes..we called it " the rise before the fall"
I think they call that rallying. Meaning the body and mind give one last push to stay alive right before you die. Sort of how a star in the sky shines its brightest right before it burns out and dies.
My mom and I talked about death and her view was not let her get CPR or on a ventilator. This is a talk you need to have Beforehand and let them have their say. And honor that. Parents let you leave the home and as children we have to let them go to heaven as we did my mom. Her indigestion was her heart.
I'm 68 and very healthy, but I have instructed my family to forbid ventilators unless I'm conscious and make it clear I want one. When in doubt, let me go. I have no fear of death; it's just getting there that's tough.
❤
My Mother was a DNR. It was difficult for my sisters and I to tell the doctors that, but we had to honor her wishes. None of us regret it.
When our Mother died unexpectedly from a fall that caused a hematoma on her brain, I knew as her primary care giver that she was done and wanted an assisted death. She made the choice and I followed her wishes. My 4 siblings thought she would recover but I knew this was not to be. I only told my youngest sister 4 years after Mom died that she herself had requested her own death. No Dr could have attempted surgery due to her other medical conditions.
I’m grateful she passed away 3 days later with one or more of her children.
She was finally free from her pain and problems. 😣😢
♥️😔
This was a lovely episode. The way so much love is shown by the nurses and doctors, and the family members is why I love to watch this show.
As a retired RN this brought back so many memories of the older folks I took care of and their families. Seeing Rose with her daughters was touching….definitely brought a tear. My mom was born in 1930 and died in 2012 as well. Thanks for the insight you’ve brought to this chaotic area…
❤
It’s sad but all senior women (on average) may be ill but truly don’t want to inconvenience or put out others, they are fine. Did you ever know of a mom that wouldn’t use the last bandaid or take the last pain med just in case someone else would need it? This is just what women do. They don’t mean to neglect themself, they just want to make sure others are taken care of first. It’s a maternal thing. ❤
Kevin touched me. His eyes moving back and forth and the fear in his eyes as he lay there watching the room around him just got to me.
I wouldn’t mind being one of these sisters - they obviously care deeply about each other and their Mom. Loving family.
So very interesting how these three sisters dealt with their Mum's admission to A&E with breathing problems. They were there for each other ❤❤
You did what you felt was the right thing to do.
Rest In Peace Rose Watson.
You did well girls, your mum would of been proud 😢❤😢❤
The women and their mother remind me so much of my mother and sisters. The laughing in a serious situation and everything. I miss my mom so much! Bless that woman and her family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You all loved and cared for her so much. Please don’t second guess your decision to not tell her. Either way it would’ve been hard. It just is! If you had told her it may have frightened her. You all knew your mom better than anyone. You went with your gut feeling. Don’t question your decision. You all knew her best. One day you’ll all be together again. It will be the most joyous reunion. You’ll see! In the meantime just know … LOVE NEVER DIES!
That's lovely.
@@bunnymaurer5164 ♥️
I would want to know I was dying. I may have things I want to finish. Maybe make peace.
This was the most touching story. It's so different with the American ER and the UK. Everyone is so calm and caring in the UK it seems. I love this program!
My mothers DNR was ignored. She lived a hellish 2 and 1/2 months more. It was a traumatizing nightmare for my sister and me. I have a DNR, and it’s tattooed to my chest!!!!!!
That blows. To bad that your mom's DNR was ignored.
Tattoos are not honored as DNR/ DNI, sadly. You should have it written in an advance directive and have your lawyer's or someone you trust's number very accessible from you in case you are incapacitated.
Or better yet have the contact number/ detail of the one holding your advance directive tattooed on you. ( I'm kidding but... yeah)
@@themicoism yes I’ve done that as well!!
Excellent idea.
Bless these sisters.
Love the sisters being there for each other.
I know, I just love the elderly and did Elder care for over 22 years...enjoyed every moment! 😇💗👩🔬
Same here 🙏❤️
I love being with the elderly as they have great stories about the past.
I've been doing elderly care for 21 years and I have also loved every moment of it!!! I just adore listening to their life stories, I find it so interesting!!! Just love it!!!
Kevin, thank goodness you were lucky, the day of your accident. Thank you for allowing your story and treatment to be shown.
Accidents happen in the blink of an eye.
Don't second guess yourselves. She knew she was surrounded by love.
Deb and Chris were such a lovely moment together!
We lost my Mom at 63 years old, I'm so happy that you all have had your Mom for so long, she sounds like a stong lady, she'll be ok, I'm praying for you all and for her!!! ❤❤❤
Lost my Mom at 68. Very sudden. Absolutely devastating. I’m so sorry.
The sisters…..bless their hearts…. They all had their own moments of being upset and comforting each other ❤️
The respect I see given to the patients, family members and one another is astounding! Amazing medical care and knowledge as well. I wish American emergency room doctors were like this. Some are just jerks here.
I can relate to the sisters ..i have two other sister Im really close to as well..I remember when my Mom died it was a shock wasnt expecting her to go..these ladies made me think of the time we stay in the funeral home and prepared our Mom ..my dad passed away one month later...
This made my feelings come out. The family ready to lose their Mum. I lost my Mum 2 years ago. I took care of her. Its so very hard 😢 love this show.
Sorry for your loss. So hard to lose your Mum. ♥️🌺
This episode just broke my heart.
I must admit I giggled when the gentleman said he was a long haul trucker, compared to the USA where he lives that’s considered local. I’m glad he’s ok!
What a beautiful family. They all take after mom. Lovely ladies.
You sisters were wonderful, encouraging each other and your mum! Prayers for you all as you treasure your mums memories with each other and your families!
I love the sisters the way they support their mum and each pther ❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Talking about END OF LIFE decisions is important before getting to the point of being sick...having your loved ones make that decision is a stressful situation so making a decision at a time when you're healthy your mental capacity is clear and you KNOW what you want makes it much easier for your family...resuscitating a person that is older or has many comorbidities is not helping and generally makes their outcome less productive...also making sure all your children know what you want helps at not pointing fingers to the one or those that have been helping take care of you(parents/grandparents)
The 3 sisters are amazing❤️❤️❤️
IF ONLY IN THE USA DRs WERE THIS KIND ..IT WOULD BE GREAT...THEY SEEM TO REALLY CARE...SORRY MATE AND THEY REALLY MEAN IT...
I was with my mom and sister when they passed…not that they went together. I miss them so very much every day. Gif bless your mom and your families ❤
Those sisters reminded me of my 2 sisters and I when we were gathering round mama at her end as well. 😢 Prayers for them to lean on each other no matter what comes their way as a family!!
Tears tears for this family that lost thier mum
Brought back memories of my mom’s last day. 😭💗
To the sisters, I'm 🎉so sorry for the loss of your mum. It's hard losing a parent. Lost my mom 5 years ago, July 1st.
Yes it is very hard to lose your beloved mum and dad. I feel for you girls.
You made me cry. My mom died first then dad. 5 years and a few days apart. On Father's Day.
My mom had a cardiac arrest and i had talked to the doctor on the phone and i was asked weather to put her on life support or let her go.. 😭 i took a deep breath and told him to Let her go she didnt want a machine keeping her alive either. She was gone. I stood beside her and told her it was okay to go sleeo with angels.
When the ladies said she was stubborn and they knew it was bad because she called herself hits home. My mother in law called the ambulance herself on a Wednesday afternoon. Was intubated long enough to get the family together and taken off the respirator on Friday afternoon. She lived 20 minutes.
I’m always shocked when these massive trauma cases come in with so many injuries and the person is conscious
Cheers to Rose!
This episode broke my heart my mother past and 4 brothers and sisters wernt there for her or me then my 3 sons stopped talking to me they could not deal with my sadness 13 long years ago. 💔 life is lonely 😢
At 76, I really identify with Rose and her daughters. All my aunts and uncles are gone almost all of them after my Mom and Dad died in the early 1980s, the ones by blood and by marriage. On my Dad’s side there is only one other first cousin left. We have never been close simply because of geography.
I had some wonderful family gatherings when I was growing up in Colorado. My sister, my only sibling, died in 2012, the same year this was recorded. I have only one child and she has identical twin daughters, now 7.
Seen this yesterday i love this show .Why did you put the same show on but change the title .???🙄
When my husband was dieing. He was waiting for one of our daughters to tell him she would take care of me...she did and he was dead within 3 hours. He wanted to make sure someone would take care of me before he gave in and died.
My parents both had DNR’s. I was with both when they died. My mom passed in 2012 and my dad passed in 2019.
I suspect most old people know deep down if they're dying. My dad did.
She would have wanted to say goodbye to her girls. Those final words are important.
R.I.P. Rose ❤
You girls have each other
Rose was a beautiful woman. Her daughters were the best
Yeahhhh....I gotcha Kevin.
That's what I said..three revolutions end over end, knocked out twice,hit the ground spinning and sliding on a cycle. Right after I said it it was lights out the second time face first into the asphalt... little to no knowledge of the accident until the driver behind me told me 😊
Gosh all those women look like their mother!
One of the most important vaccines an elderly person can get is the pneumonia vaccine it prevents so many strains of pneumonia I am so glad I received my pneumonia vaccine I am a smoker and I did have pneumonia one time and it knocked the wind out of my sails very difficult but I pulled I’ve also had Lyme disease and many issues because of Lyme disease which is worse than pneumonia I’ve also had bronchitis chest colds flus not any more! Rest In Peace Rose Watson
Why do they call a nurse sister? I figured out that consultant is a doctor but they have a lot of names for nurses and doctors. I love watching, thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
Just googled it. It’s because they are predominantly women. Also, there are different ranks of sisters. The first grade of qualified nurse is a 'Staff Nurse', then above them come 'Deputy Ward Sister' then 'Ward Sister' (sometimes called 'Ward Manager' or 'Charge Nurse').
Also, I believe this is a Catholic hospital staffed predominantly by nuns who have trained to be nurses.
@@Fostermom4chis It's not. It's a major public hospital. No attachment to religion. Also, catholicism is very minor in the UK (other than Northern Ireland of course).
In the past nurses were all nuns. Sister is the highest level o a registered nurse and manages less experienced nurses
🙏
Death is part of living and to prolong the act of death is to denied life..
Mum's "art" "she's drowndin, she's drowndin" People have a right to know that they are about to die, you don't think that she didn't know. Most people of that age are very calm and accepting. We can't say we are next, young people die from whatever problem, just enjoy the moment R.N.
I agree. It looks like she knew. But still everyone has a right to know. The drs have to tell the patient; so I don’t know how they got around that. (Unless they had medical proxy; but even then when she came in she was competent to make decisions so they should have kept her informed of her medical condition. Although it is the UK. 🤷♀️
People have a right to know their medical status. That should not have been the daughters’ decision.
She should be living with someone ❤
I hope I don't get hurt when that 1st Dr. Is on duty
Can we please stop the fake heart monitor and ventilator sounds?!
It is so selfish to refuse to stay in the hospital .
She is listening?
Kings a and even doesn't have a helicopter pad on the roof ?
Again....families clinging to a dying family member because of their own pain at being left behind.
Release from this dense physical reality should be easy.
Crazy to think that you could die if all the ERs are busy
They are horrible at blurring faces. I counted at least 4 instances of faces flashing uncovered then covered with the face clearly visible and recognizeble
Not one person in that first family were ever skinny
I would want to know if I were going to die so I could say things and have final love you to my family.
If you really do want an DNR to be honored... why go to the hospital for help? Im confused
I think if someone can be save and just to have more time here that's a blessing and one day longer that you dont have to morn their loss
I would go to hospital just to save my family from having to deal with the effects of death……terrible pain(emotional and physical), loss of bladder and colon, blood loss, secretion through the skin, the trauma of closely watching the struggle for the last breaths, the memory of the corona or covering and removing the body, smells that linger, not being able to find peace in the home after such a traumatic time…….no I want to go to hospital because I want to spare my kids the memories.
Probably because so they , the Drs can give u something so u r calm.
DNR just means you won't get CPR and be put on a ventilator. There is plenty of other less invasive things that can be done-oxygen, antibiotics, pain killers etc
What is a lorrie? A small delivery truck, we would call it a box truck or bread truck.
Those small cargo vehicles can't knfie-jack , can they? A lorry can.
It’s equivalent to an 18 wheeler
@@akesvensson3778 I thought he said another larger truck jackknifed and he got caught up in it. I did google it, it said a small delivery truck. So I googled again , yes it is an 18 wheeler as they stated or a plain old truck. Not very clear, but I stand corrected.
18 wheeler is a lorrie
Large transport with cab and body separate units. Usually 18 wheels.
The sister story was too dragged out
@6:49 - WHY is Kevin not on oxygen????
Obviously, the doctors didn't think it was necessary. I have a feeling they know what they're doing.
@@shoegal7lol right? These keyboard doctors make me laugh 😅
DNR= Department Of Natural Resources 😅😂❤
This is so odd to watch as an American, much of our Emergency Room trauma is gunshot wounds....
I was thinking the same thing!!!!
So that one girl at 17:00 forgot to blush her other side thought we was just not gonna call her out on it? Girl Learn how to do your makeup. CZcams will help if you don't know how
Do the doctors have the right to make the DNR choice
They do have the right not to try to continue resuscitating you, they don't have to keep giving you CPR and shocking you for hours until you revive if they can tell it's not going to work, and so they also have the right not to do other stuff if your heart stops beating. At some point your body is just giving up, and machines are not a replacement for working organs. It's the doctors best judgement based on how many health issues she has and how many organs are failing for her, keeping her heart beating and her lungs pumping isn't going to keep her "around" for her family.
Pa nwwnwiben29ieneb🇧🇱🤡🤣🤡🤣😁😁🍈💋🤡🤣🤡😄🧨☹️🤡🤡🍈🤡🙂🤡😂🙂
This show is boring it's Marble to family you're not really showing what's going on behind the scene in the emergency room😮
I can see why you're divorced. My question is how you managed to get married looking like that 😂😂
`Rose's daughters appear as aggressive monsters torturing their mother, and that may be one of the salient characteristics of this complete family. Haunted forever by the guilt of exhibiting human weakness, the mother must pass on, carrying the guilt with her.
This one hit me hard, reminded me of my mother's death.🥹😭 It happened very much like this.
