Read my chest: ‘DO NOT RESUSCITATE’


Read my chest: ‘DO NOT RESUSCITATE’

80-year-old gets a last-wishes tattoo — but will guideline be followed?

DECORAH, Iowa - Mary Wohlford has made it perfectly clear what her final wishes are: It's written in ink — on her skin. Wohlford, 80, had the words "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" tattooed on her chest in February.

Wohlford hopes she's made her wishes perfectly clear should she become incapacitated. She also has a living will hanging on the side of her refrigerator.

"People might think I'm crazy, but that's OK," she said. "Sometimes the nuttiest ideas are the most advanced."

I agree.....
