I'm guessing the DNR comment from doctors comes from the experiences all of us in emergency medicine have had, where we're basically just breaking the ribs of some poor elderly person who's basically already dead. <br /><br />With that said...in 10 years as an EMT, I've had CPR work once, on a child.
