BOCA RATON, FL – After briefly working at a rehab facility, traumatized area physician Dr. Sri-Sheshadariprativadibayankaram rushed to a local tattoo parlor to have “DNR” permanently tattooed to every potential central venous access point on his body. “I can’t let that happen to me,” offered the shaken doctor. “I know I can complete out-of-hospital DNR forms, but I don’t want to take any chances.”
So far, the physician had permanent ink applied to his right internal jugular, right subclavian, right femoral, and also bilateral antecubital fossae access points, just in case somebody tried to throw in a PICC line. “I had been thinking that maybe my lower back DNR tramp stamp tattoo would be good enough, but then I realized that people may not see it and then initiate CPR on me.”
Dr. Sri-Sheshadariprativadibayankaram states that he intends to obtain only a few more DNR tattoo on his lower legs “just in case some ER cowboy decides to throw in an interosseous line.”
