code i have a hard time crying every day thinking about this, because i have family members who will and other ppl that i know who deal with this sort of thing.people who are dying of cancer (or anything for that matter) have choices. its hard for the patient, but even harder for the family it's up to the patient: what if your heart stops beating??? CODE BLUE OR NO CODE? typical patient: what does that mean? if your heart stops beating would you like us to resonate you? CODE BLUE: yes NO CODE: DNR (do not resonate)
