To: Protect the Bill of Rights

“I hope the hospital offered he more than “she’s brain dead and we are taking her off life support.”

I hope that they didn’t send the bill for the tonsillectomy yet with the obligatory “pay within four hours of receipt or bill will be presented for collection” red stamp.

This is a sad story, but this sort of thing can and does happen. ANY surgery is risky - some more so than others.

I’d love to be able to read the chart to get the full picture.

This article:
http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/national/jahi-mcmath-girl-brain-dead-after-tonsil-surgery—family-says-it-wants-to-keep-life-support

has more details than I have read so far. At first I thought the only details were those of a distraught mother. Jahi’s grandmother, a nurse herself, seems to give a fact based version of events.

My heart breaks for this family.
