How can a hospital that wants a patient to die have the audacity to continue to call itself a Methodist hospital. Methodists should sue the hospital for misusing the name.

[rarestia]

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.

[Slyfox]

Recently the hospital handed Dunns mother, Evelyn Kelly, a notice invoking the 1999 Texas Advance Directives Act (TADA) which allows a hospital to arbitrarily ignore the patients desires and take actions that can result in the patients death.

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.

[zek157]

Methodist have been more Laodicean for some time.

[BuffaloJack]

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.

[SgtHooper]

Is this the hospital that has spent over 22 million on this patient?

[Louis Foxwell]

The “Methodist” establishment is in full accord with thinking. They long ago abandoned Christ for institutional religion.

[Suz in AZ]

You mean, “Houston Mega-death Hospital”.

[Amendment10]

As I have ranted in threads concerning Terri Schiavo, the states have not learned from Terris case.

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.

[Timpanagos1]

Is the patient paying his hospital bills?

[AppyPappy]

He can plea for his life? I’d go to another hospital.

[ConstantSkeptic]

Chris Dunn died today.

According to court records: “Dunn suffered end-stage liver disease, gastric obstruction, pancreatic cancer, respiratory failure and gastrointestinal bleeding.”
