Re: We need to talk about resuscitation

I am a patient, though not seriously ill. I'm 82, have had a good life and have no relations. I would like to avoid strenuous efforts to keep me alive if I develop a condition which would kill me. I heard about this on Radio 4 this morning.

Please get on with it asap
