The thing Houston Methodist Hospital officials want most for Christmas is the death of patient Chris Dunn. While most of us are preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who healed the sick, Houston Methodist Hospital grinches are plotting to kill a patient. The former EMT who once worked to save lives now has to plea for his life with hospital administrators who have less compassion than Ebenezer Scrooge.

Very few people of God are running these hospital systems anymore. There are several godless hospitals running in my part of Florida that tack on the names of saints or faiths.
Yep. This is where whatever you sign they just throw it in a drawer and ignore your wishes.
It ain’t your Daddy’s Methodist Church anymore. The United Methodist Church has, unfortunately, become very progressive within the past 10-15 years.
More like Regressive.... Back to the days of pagan human sacrifices.
Methodist have been more Laodicean for some time.
Holy Crap. My oldest daughter is a nurse at that hospital.
I’ll have to talk to her about it.
I hope she’s not the one caring for Dunn.
Is this the hospital that has spent over 22 million on this patient?
The “Methodist” establishment is in full accord with thinking. They long ago abandoned Christ for institutional religion.
You mean, “Houston Mega-death Hospital”.
More specifically, the rights that citizens have under the Constitution are not necessarily the same as the rights that they have under 10th Amendment-protected state powers, constitutionally unprotected euthanasia for example.
” There is in our political system a government of each of the several States, and a Government of the United States. Each is distinct from the others, and has citizens of its own who owe it allegiance, and whose rights, within its jurisdiction, it must protect. The same person may be at the same time a citizen of the United States and a citizen of a State, but his rights of citizenship under one of those governments will be different from those he has under the other [emphasis added].” - United States v. Cruikshank
Concerned citizens need to work with state lawmakers to make euthanasia-related laws that are acceptable to citizens. Likewise with respect to private property protections.
Is the patient paying his hospital bills?
The article doesn’t specify which Houston Methodist Hospital this is? Could someone clarify it? The closest one to me is Southwest.
At a Methodist hospital in Tomball, the corridor was lined out with framed fabric panels with Koranic verses.
They are not talking about cutting off expensive, high-risk, high-tech, heroic, or futile interventions. They're talking about cutting off the man's FOOD so he will starve to death.
Questions should be asked very loudly who passed this act and which governor signed it. It is very difficult for me to understand why pro-life organizations are not more vocal about this kind of legislation. It should be easy to pass medical legislation that respects life, at least in conservative states, of which Texas seems to be one. And unlike abortion legislation, such legislation should be safe from activist judges.
He can plea for his life? I’d go to another hospital.
And has insurance.
And is conscious and talking rationally.
And has a Medical POA which is legally filed with his mother.
And has tried to transfer to another hospital but they refuse to release his records.
They refuse to release him or his medical records.
They may call it progressive, but I think regressive is more accurate.
