He needs a lawyer to file a habeus writ for him fast

Thankfully I’ve never had a situation as extreme as what you experienced, and I’m sorry you and your family had to endure that.

I’m constantly amazed at the naivté so many people have about hospitals. They seem to think Florence Nightengale will be holding the hand of their loved one 24/7. I have had to change bedsheets and sanitary garments for relatives because the nurses (or nurse techs or healthcare assistants, or whomever happened to be hired by that particular facility) couldn’t be bothered. One time a resident lashed into my mother, with much profanity, that she should be on her knees thanking him because he “got a speeding ticket” on the way to the hospital to take care of my father (post-stroke). THAT particular smug SOB heard an earful from me — still makes my blood boil remembering it.

People really need to be more aware of how “warehouse” so many hospitals are — if a patient doesn’t have a strong-willed advocate, they will fall to the end of the line.

He doesn’t just need a lawyer, he needs a “pitbull in a brooks brothers suit” to take the law, publicity and anything else he can get his hands on and shove it straight up the hospitals ass.

Was there any explanation given for the Gag order?

Massachusetts went medical nanny state under Romney. This story is a small screenshot of what is coming to the entire country. Unfortunately the majority (apparently) of the voters in this country are Social Utopians. They should have had to live in a Socialist country before they voted to destroy this one.

It is also highly enjoyable. Spent six hours once in an emergency room with five fractures in my pelvis. They kept trying to get me to walk. No meds.

When they finally figured out I had fractures, they lit me up with Fetanyl.

They can do that again anytime they want.

Yeah a couple years ago I had my very first stay at the hospital.

Had me on Delodid until I started hallucinating that the nurse was trying to kill me. In between not being able to stop exhaling every time I breathed.

Then morphine once the pain subsided. The rush you see in the war movies is real.

[mgist]

That is just insane!!!

[driftdiver]

Yeah but the nurse was an Angel!

There are many good hospitals. I really don’t understand how this makes sense from a care perspective or financial perspective for the hospital.

The other girl, Wray, went through the same thing including a gag order being placed on the family. Besides the state taking away the rights of the parents, it seems something else might be going on. I’d be calling a big shot lawyer and suing for millions. I’m not one to sue, but these people need the fear of losing everything, along with anyone else who would consider doing anything like this. This sounds like it comes out of one of obama’s czars.

I’ve been hospitalized three times for heart problems. All three times some Korean gastro doctor stopped by my room. I have no idea why he was there. He billed the insurance company and was paid. He billed me for the co-pays. I wrote him a letter basically telling him to go to hell. I never heard from him again.

This is one of the reasons that the Second Amendment is so impotent. My wife was in a recovery home after breaking a leg. Most of the help was from south America and could barely speak English. If I had left her there she would have died. So I stayed with her 12/14 hours a day to keep them honest.

I have used this procedure with amazing results. Take out your cellphone and say “I am going to call 911” then set down and watch the Panic.

There are many great doctors. There are also many doctors who are like Josef Mengele, seeing patients as nothing more than lab specimens. It appears many of the latter group are in this Boston hospital. That hospital needs to shut down and many, if not all, of its doctors imprisoned.

One thing I didn't see was the basis of the gag order. Why did a judge violate the First Amendment by trying to silence this man?

[driftdiver]

I just told them I work with hipaa compliance and they were great.

You really have to be able to speak up for your family members. My father was in the hospital and at 86 refused chemo for acute leukemia. I was with him the night before he was to be released. He told me some doctor came in and said he needed a blood transfusion and he said no but they were going to give it to him cause his doctor ordered it...Being a nurse, hospitals and staff don't intimidate me. The resident that took the phone order from his doctor was at the nurse station. I went there and asked who was in charge of my father getting a blood transfusion and the resident said he was....I told the resident my father was refusing the transfusion. The resident said....you don't understand, his doctor ordered it......I told the resident.....NO you don't understand there will be no transfusion given.....Everyone has a right to refuse treatment and my father had gone out of another hospital AMA after talking with anesthesia the night before scheduled Kidney removal due to what turned out to be a large cyct on the kidney and not cancer.. I know that cause I was with him when he was transferred to another floor (I worked at this hospital) told the nurse transferring him to go slow, I wanted to read all the reports of tests done....including a biopsy...no cancer cells were found in any tests done...

How much did dad donate to a teaparty candidate?
