UK economy flatlines as higher interest rates bite
Health[edit]
On May 6, 1998, during a dinner party in honor of director Wes Craven, Evans suffered a stroke while giving a toast, and was rushed to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Evans flatlined in the ambulance, but was resuscitated. Suffering a series of three strokes in quick succession, he was left paralyzed on his right side and completely unable to speak.[20] During his hospital stay, he was encouraged by media mogul and friend Sumner Redstone, who stayed at his bedside, to work on his speech and recovery. A few days after Evans' stroke, Frank Sinatra died from a heart attack in one of the adjoining rooms at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Witnessing his body being taken away, Evans said it was an event that furthered his desire to recover.[21]
Evans eventually regained his ability to talk and returned to producing. As of 2013,[20] he relies on a cane for shorter walks and has limited mobility.

She suffered from a long list of health problems, including heart failure and chronic lung disease that could leave her gasping for breath.
When her time came she wanted to die a natural death, Stanich told her daughter, and she signed a "do not resuscitate" directive, or DNR, ordering doctors not to revive her should her heart stop.
Groundhog and Shadow: Battle Is Joined Again
By STUART ELLIOTT
The science fiction author Philip K. Dick famously asked in the title of one of his books, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” A campaign to encourage tourists to visit Pennsylvania is centered on the concept that a certain animal dreams of its shadow.
The animal is, of course, the groundhog known as Punxsutawney Phil, which draws visitors each year to Punxsutawney, Pa., on Feb. 2 to find out whether or not he sees his shadow upon emerging from his burrow at the end of his hibernation. The campaign, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Tourism Office, is the fifth in a row from Red Tettemer, a creative agency in Philadelphia, pitting characters named Groundhog and Shadow against each other in what the agency likes to call “their ongoing match of wits and guile.”

A Do Not Resuscitate, or DNR order is a written order from a doctor that resuscitation should not be attempted if a person suffers cardiac or respiratory arrest. Such an order may be instituted on the basis of an advance directive from a person, or from someone entitled to make decisions on their behalf, such as a health care proxy; in some jurisdictions, such orders can also be instituted on the basis of a physician's own initiative, usually when resuscitation would not alter the ultimate outcome of a disease.
Any person who does not wish to undergo lifesaving treatment in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest can get a DNR order, although DNR is more commonly done when a person who has an inevitably fatal illness wishes to have a more natural death without painful or invasive medical procedures.
It is commonly mistaken that a DNR means resuscitation would be successful. In contrast to medical dramas seen on TV, resuscitation in reality has only around a 10-percent success rate.[citation needed] Even those who do survive, a suitably large proportion either die shortly afterward or are left with permanent physical/neurological deficiencies.[citation needed] Therefore, medical students and doctors alike are being encouraged to be realistic with patients and their families when it comes to discussing such a sensitive topic as DNR orders, as it is thought that many wrongly believe resuscitation to be a risk-free guarantee to life.
Alternate Names
Alternate namings and abbreviations for this order are used depending on the geographic region. DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) is a common abbreviation in the United States & the United Kingdom. It may be clarified in some regions with the addition of DNI (Do Not Intubate), although in some hospitals DNR alone will imply no intubation. Some areas of the United States and the United Kingdom include the letter A, as in DNAR, to clarify "Do Not Attempt Resuscitation." This alteration is so that it is not presumed by the patient/family that the attempt at resuscitation will be successful. Since the term DNR implies the omission of action, and therefore 'giving up', some have advocated for these orders to be re-termed Allow Natural Death. However the acronym AND could obviously be confused for the conjunction 'and' so this has not been popular in hospitals. New Zealand and Australia (and some hospitals in the UK) use the term NFR or Not For Resuscitation. Typically these abbreviations are written without periods in between the letters, i.e. DNR not D.N.R.
Until recently in the UK it was common to write "Not for 222" or conversationally, "Not for twos." This was implicitly a hospital DNR order, where 222 (or similar) is the hospital telephone number for the emergency resuscitation or crash team.
