Terri’s list ping

[Secret Agent Man]

This isn’t a scenario of a husband wanting insurance money and inheritance ifnhe shuts off the life support. Most of these are not Terri Schiavo scenarios.

Sometimes doctors actually know what they are doing.

That said, i hope she recovers, and/or another hospital steps up and says they will take her as a transfer if necessary.

The baby doesn’t look like she is in pain in the picture.

[Mariner]

A horrible tragedy. Heartbreaking to even read about.

Every time it happens.

Should society commit the necessary assets for every person on life support to stay alive as long the machines can keep them?

Millions die every year who could be extended by modern medicine. Maybe a few weeks or a few months. Maybe even a few years.

It’s a question that should be considered.

Murder

[kaila]

I read that this baby is septic, and goes into cardiac arrest 3 times per day that requires them to resuscitate her. No children’s hospital will accept her because there is no magic cure for her. The only reason she probably is not suffering is because she is sedated and intubated.

[Repeal 16-17]

The hospital enacted the state’s 10-Day Rule, which gives family’s just ten days to find a new facility to care for their loved one before the hospital removes life support and the patient dies.

What an evil law.

10 days seems awfully short time to get anything legally accomplished.

Appeals court has it now as I posted the link above.

The "10 day rule" doesn't seem to have been applied literally, since they have had since November to find another facility.
