Does a DNR (EIE) mean that I will no longer receive treatment?

No. DNR (”do not resuscitate”, EIE in Finnish) rules out attempts to resuscitate the patient in case of cardiac arrest in situations where it’s deemed that the patient would not be able to recover from the resuscitation. All other forms of treatment that help the patient and follow the patient’s treatment intent are carried out according to the care plan.
