Catholic Ping List
Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
"Mom!" Shakes Ruthie. "Mom, wake up! The insurance has run out and the hospital expects us kids to take care of you. Mom, wake up dammit!" Shakes Ruthie again.
The article does not say of the staff had been pushing to unplug Ruthie before the insurance ran out.....maybe they had, and the lack of insurace is now a lever to move the situation on.
At the risk of getting flamed, the article seems to indicate mom has been out of it for 60 to 90 days. If they do unplug mom, the Lord will take her for sure.....
all I did was state fact as stated in the article..they kept her alive and once the money ran out, they decided to stop treatment
WOW is all I can say! This woman isn't even brain dead and they want to kill her. Gee, this sounds famaliar!
Imagine that - the $$ runs out and THEN the committee meets to decide what to do ...
Brace yourself for the pro-death crowd.
They should be arriving here any minute.
Hospitals are prohibited by law from withholding routine care (in this case dialysis) to an admitted patient. Plus, it is entirely possible that it was the hospital's negligence that caused her condition.
Might I suggest a transfer to a Baptist Hospital... or a Catholic Hospital. I have got to believe that one of these institutions would take on the case if, as it appears, insurance is the driving factor in this decision.
Yet the Culture of Death wants to superimpose their twisted agenda over God's Will.
God's will apparently includes machinery!
Probably no one's. People have bad things happen to them, and most of them are not the doctor's fault.
Although Regency has offered to help find another medical facility for Ruthie Webster in Atlanta or Indiana, the family does not want to move their mother, unless they can help it. "
Has the family offered to pay for continued care at Regency?
"People have bad things happen to them, and most of them are not the doctor's fault."
Yeah, like a few months ago when Kaiser clinic's doctor and nurse overdid the morphine on my Mom to the degree that it almost killed her - all during a routine colonoscopy! Then they all tried to act like it was just an "allergic reaction". That was until they had to admit her to the hospital and the admitting physician made it pretty clear that they were idiots. No I guess bad things just "happen".
TEXAS' FUTURE CARE LAW SUCKS. (there's no polite way to describe it).

Help TSSF establish safe houses all over the United States so that disabled people won't have to worry about being killed by state sponsored homicide.
Sad very sad.
The bottom line is more important than a flat line.
No. The family believes the money to care for their mother will appear out of thin air. They are unwilling to transfer her to a hospital that will care for her, gratis.
They should just call this a post-delivery abortion. After all, most of the women who choose to kill their unborn babies are just trying to avoid the "burden" of motherhood.
Right. Like T'wit was saying the other day, charity is the only solution for this type of stuff.
Here we go again with Texas and its horrible law. One way or another--legislative or judicial--this law needs to be overturned!
You simply must cease this habit of pointing out the facts.
