Actually, the news said that FELOS said she was going into organ failure. I've seen no other source for that claim, and I don't give anything he says much credence. The fact that she moved back to the hospice suggests to me that no such thing happened, and that doctors at the hospital determined she no longer needed any treatment besides the IV and feeding tube, which could be handled at the hospice.

Unless the HINO refused the treatment they offered.

This is my first post but I felt that I needed to let you know that there is such thing as an AMA discharge. It means "against medical advice". Because a patient cannot be treated against their will they can leave the hospital without being officially discharged by the physician. The physician usually tries to intervene but the patient or the patient's guardian has the last say and the physician must let them go. It is then usually posted on the chart as "AMA discharge". I truly believe this is what has taken place.
