I want to go dnr now, and in the discussion with my gp she said I would need to get one of those to alert medical staff. Nope, not doing it. Thinking a tattoo on the wrist would be cheaper and a lot harder to ignore.

Heisenberg, is it all about choices? Like hi viz? Like vaxes? Letting someone else charge us for a service they profit from? Yes, I suppose it is. Same as getting a little bit of ink.

Now I just have to decide on the font.
