I don't believe everything that I read either. I have taken care of patients whose family has gone to the press, and have given an inaccurate story to them. We cannot say anything because of HIPAA. However, in this case, this man appears to want to live. I don't understand why the hospital is fighting this. They could just send him home on a ventilator, or transfer him to a different hospital. I don't get it.

” I don’t understand why the hospital is fighting this.”

Could it be for his organs?

It is my understanding that he is either uninsured or his insurance has maxed out on what they pay.

Other hospitals won’t take him. But he could go home on a ventilator—
