Not official report. AI-generated from public dispatch audio. Always verify with official sources.

An ambulance crew transported a patient who recently had open-heart surgery and experienced two fainting episodes. The patient has a do not resuscitate/do not intubate (DNR/DNI) form that was signed by a licensed practical nurse, not a doctor. The wife is present but does not have official power of attorney, though she handles medical matters. The patient is alert but confused and unable to fully express wishes. Medical direction was sought on whether to honor the DNR/DNI during transport to the University of Minnesota Medical Center East Bank.
