"Doctors had diagnosed her condition as a persistent vegetative state, but Haleigh recovered before they could euthanize her."

I have not heard of this case. Was I just not paying enough attention, or did the media find the outcome somewhat embarrassing and therefore bury the story?

They very quickly panned the camera away when a member of the medical staff was quoted as saying. "Damn, we almost nailed the little b****!"

(Not really, but that's almost how I feel some of our modern graduates from US med schools approach "caring" for the very seriously ill.)
