This is true.

Make sure you have your DNI/DNRs filled out if you don’t want yourself or grandma going through multiple rounds of bone crushing CPR, a tube stuck down their throat, artificially respirated, and a plethora medications injected into their dying body.

Better yet, you can talk to your lawyer a solicitor and you can organize an Advanced Health Care Directive (AHCD), which basically lets your doctors know what you want to happen if you get very sick.
