Way back in the day when I spent every extra second in the water, I had come with a thought that if I was diagnosed with something real bad. I wanted to get a some twin 80's or larger SCUBA tanks go to somewhere like the Marianas trench and take the slow ride home. I thought the Nitrogen Narcosis would help it be a smooth transition. However, I have gotten older I am glad I never faced that dilemma for the simple fact I think no matter how much nitrogen you get it would not be enough to make that a pleasant ride to the other side. I know that is a little dark but just a little me story hahaha

yall my thoughts are pretty simple, if I am not mistaken there is DNR paperwork maybe he should have spent a little less time getting fresh ink and more time filling out paperwork. Hell for that matter if you have that kind of time, take gun out the woods and take care of business. Done!

He did. From the article "Thankfully, it seems the decision was indeed the correct one, as the doctors were able to locate an official Do Not Resuscitate request order that he had previously filed with the Florida Department of Health."
He not only filled out the effing paperwork ... but he replicated it in a tattoo ... perhaps knowing full well that when the ambulance collected him and delivered him to the ER, nobody would have the time to search the records to determine his desires.
