I’m not familiar with Spero News, but this is highly suspect. Given that some parts of the story make no medical sense whatsoever, I’m highly suspicious.
1, The article claims that an EEG found that his brain was intact. EEG’s cannot find that your brain is intact. His brain is not intact. There is no question on this as a surgeon has removed part of it.
2, The article reference the Texas Right to Life organization. TRL has absolutely nothing on their website, which seems out of place since TRL is quick to put actionable stories on it’s website.
3, The story makes several claims about the progress of Zach Fernandez up to August 13th. He was admitted the 6th, and on the 15th the hospital released a report that his condition was unchanged and that he’d made no improvement.
Is it an actionable item?
The Texas Right to Life spokesperson in the video is the same one on their website.
The hospital obviously states he’s made no improvement. They want him dead and gone. They’ve been saying he’ll never live — that’s the point of the story. This is a decision the family needs to make, not a doctor.
The article says they wanted his organs before he improved and started to breathe on his own.
I know nothing about the website as a source of information. But, the way the article reads, it seems to be saying that the boy's brain is intact; the surgery occurred at one hospital, and then the boy was transferred to another, and there was miscommunication between the two hospitals. At least that's what I think the article is saying.
Miscommunication and misinformation seems to be very common at hospitals. Our family has come across it very often with sick family members. For awhile, a hospital had me listed wrong, too. Luckily I was well enough to speak up for myself. When a patient is not well enough, or in a coma, that's when family members are important in helping to keep hospital records straight.
