One of the UK’s favourite hospital dramas bowed out of production last night, causing devastation among fans. In the final episode of Holby City, TV favourite Jac Naylor (played by Rosie Marcel) succumbed to her brain tumour and passed away in the hospital she called ‘home’. Jac’s former mentor Elliot Hope (Paul Bradley) failed to remove her tumour in a life-or-death operation.
Learning the bad news, Jac asked for a ‘do-not-resuscitate’ (DNR) order to be written for her. Soon after, she had a stroke and was declared brain-dead. Doctors had to respect her order.
But what is a DNR? Here, we decode Jac’s wishes and what common hospital jargon really means. What is a DNR? This tricky term is actually a simple one - it means ‘do not resuscitate’. If you sign this order it means that if your heart or breathing stops, doctors will not try to restart it.
People with life-shortening illnesses like cancer, brain tumours or Motor Neurone Disease may choose to sign a DNR. Or a doctor may make the decision if they think resuscitation won’t help you live longer - but you'll always be notified. How does it work? It’s a decision made by you and your doctor or healthcare team, but you can change your mind at any time.
It’s not legally binding, just a tool to tell healthcare providers not to attempt action if your organs fail.The form is kept in your medical records and kept with you at all times. What is an ADRT? If you want to make your DNR order legally binding, you should write an Advance Decision to Refuse Treatment.This order explains when you want to refuse CPR or other treatment at some time in the future. It also lets your family, carers and health professionals know your wishes if you’re unable to make or communicate them
