The Daily Telegraph today carries the story of Newcastle-based Albert Cutter - a GP locum - who has had "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" tattooed across his chest. The 80-year-old's story has generated a lot of comment on the US-based internet site for emergency service workers, www.emsvillage.com.
But what happens should a medical emergency which required resuscitation happened in a non-English speaking country? How clearly would the tattoo express his wishes?
The story also mentioned another person who has had the tattoo - except in Frances Pollack's case, hers was set around a heart with a line through it.
