It is a sad reflection of the litigious fear that americans live in.
If it was me I would have done something.

Well, the audio recording of the 911 call is now doing the rounds, and from what I can tell the staff member on the phone isn't making any mention of a DNR and does not seem to be getting guidance from someone else in the background. To be honest she just sounds like she's completely unwilling to entertain the notion of thinking for herself; she seems to think that the simple act of dialling 911 makes the whole thing someone else's problem.
