The jest of the story…..So my husband fell yesterday and split open his forehead. Taken to hospital. First they wouldn’t let me back there, said he was being triaged by Doctor and I could go back later. That’s never happened, I was always allowed back with him. (He went in by ambulance about 2 months ago so this is new protocol) Second he told me afterwards the first thing they did was ask if he’d had the Covid vax, and how many. He lied (he was afraid) and said he had the first two (he has not). They then kept asking him which one he took. He said he didn’t remember. He got stitched up and released, but this whole hospital thing has warped into some weird crap and I’m betting they are getting tons coming in and have a new protocols due to it all being vaxxed related.

Thanks for that link! It was some green form... but I think it may have been a POLST form. But I now have all that drawn up for him with an attorney. Also we're not in that State anymore...but I make sure the hospital he goes to now has his wishes (but like I said, every time I go back to even his new hospital they're like - "does he still want the full-code?" I'm like - YES - yes he does!)
Okay. In CA it is pink.
One thing: my FIL passed at home. It was expected. The paramedics told us a good place to keep copies of the DNR/POLST is in a plastic bag on top of the refrigerator. They apparently look there but even if that is not the case, for the family, you have a go to place so you aren't digging around for it.
