Question Meaning of DNS

I was recently hospitalized in a VA Hospital. The notes list my code status as: DNI, DNR, DNS. I know what DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) and DNI (Do Not Intubate) mean but I am wondering what the DNS means. I have searched the Internet and haven't found an answer. Any ideas??

Cheers
