'An effective “Do not resuscitate” was ordered without our knowledge or consent. The final computerized medication report from the intensive care of an excellent hospital is inexplicably missing.'

NEVER leave the bedside of a very ill hospitalized patient. The hospitals are crazy. DNR has to be a specific request, what on earth happened here?

This is truly criminal - these parents sent their child to the hospital to be healed, but instead the child was denied medical help, and died of respiratory infection. The child should never have been left alone in the care of these criminals...

No one should ever again assume that hospitals and doctors have the best in mind for their patients; the elderly, the weak, and the very young should all have skeptics as advocates, asking questions, demanding answers and monitoring care. Even healthy young adults are at risk, when accidents create coma or brain damage, for their undamaged organs are so very profitable to the hospitals. When medical professionals tell us that a loved one will "never recover" is "hopelessly brain damaged", "brain dead" or "would be better off left to die" one must ask the question: is their any profit to be made off of this persons death? Are they concerned about payment that may not be rendered? Are their any body parts that might be sold from this person once they are deceased? Or perhaps does the medical professional assume that this person will not recover because of prejudices/assumptions made about the elderly, the disabled, or their families?

I had wonderful doctors by my side when I delivered my son, and I was truly blessed. However, I had three friends who delivered prematurely at different times, and all three were respectively advised to withdraw respiratory support from their babies because they were "too brain damaged". Each time, a doctor came around and told the parents that the child would not have a quality life, and that the support would do no good, and that if it were his child, he would choose to withdraw care. Even though the doctors were different at each hospital, and were seperated by time and space of ten years and hundreds of miles, it was as if the doctors' speeches all came from the same book. Two of those babies went on to become wonderful young children, full of life and hope. The third died at the hospital after the parents consented and withdrew the breathing apparatus.

Thank God two parents allowed their children to receive the best care available, rather than relying on the recommendations of the "doctors of death".

Doctors are no longer bound by the Hippocratic Oath, and Hospitals are not longer havens for the sick. Although many good medical professionals exist, they are becoming overwhelmed by the demands of the institutions they serve. Once families recognize this, they will no longer assume that doctors, nurses and hospitals have their best interests in mind; they will then stay with their loved ones 24/7 while they are in the hospitals, and never let them out of their sights. They should sue the hospital, and demand a criminal investigation at the very least.

I couldn't agree more.

The hospital issued a letter of apology stating that sometimes “… communication does not occur in as clear and consistent a fashion as we would wish. For that, we are very sorry.”

Talk about your non-apology apology! Talk about unclear communication!

Make no mistake about it, what they are sorry about is the parents learning about the fact that the doctors and nurses murdered this baby. What was not communicated during the hospitalization was the fact that the doctors and nurses intentionally withheld care from Annie because they believed she should not be alive. They didn't tell the parents what they were doing (or not doing) because they believed that the parents were not responsible people and would not do the right thing (let Annie die) because they had acted so irrationally and done the obviously wrong thing in the past (work for Annie to live).

So, they pretended to give care, but didn't. No antibiotics were even ordered. That's why they destroyed the medication records. So, now that the hospital knows, what is it doing? Assisting the cover-up.

The doctors, hospital, and nurses should be sued. The doctors and nurses should be criminally prosecuted and lose their licenses.

You are correct.

The hospital treated my dad so bad after his heart surgery that he beat up two male nurses to protect himself.
