Kline - speaking on guardian ad litem (sp)
What role for guardian to play?

Ans - Gov might decide best interests of patient if re-inserting tube might be more painful. 'This PERSON (TERRI) IS STARVING AND IT'S PAINFUL.'

Guardian can ONLY make recommendations to gov.

I can't see them taking her to surgery and inserting a stomach tube in her condition. (The site closes up really fast) She is going to need IVs and probably an NG tube right now. Assigning a guardian (overseeer) might be a good idea. She is going to need agressive care to recover from this and hospice isn't designed to do so.
