I saw the interview and obviously so did you. Surely you were able to see through that bit of theater.

K. Adamson claimed to have been in coma for 70 days and was aware but could not communicate. When pressed by O'Reilly for an answer to how long she was unable to communicate, she avoided answering. O'Reilly pressed the issue, yet she wouldn't answer. Her husband said that is was a couple of weeks.

Read all the articles Adamson has posted on her website. Not one of them, NOT ONE, makes even a mention that she was beyond hope and as a result her feeding tube was removed.

Besides, her lawyer/husband would have to approve the denial of sustenance PRIOR to any removal by the physicians.

Adamson makes a living off her book and as a motivational speaker. She is a self-promoter- a huckster- who is seeking publicity, no more.

"Further, there is no claim or mention that anyone tried to starve her to death."

According to her husband the doctors tried to. He had to threaten to take the doctors to court to get them to back off.

First, you say there is no claim or mention that anyone tried to starve her to death, then in the next post to me you say you saw the interview where the husband claimed just that. Why did you post something you knew not to be true?

Each state is different and doctors will often have the ability to overrule family members. I believe her husband.

The doctors denied my father medical help abitrarily over the objections of our family. His chest cavity would fill up with fluids and they would drain the chest. One time however, they were going to let him die in this painful manner over our objections. It was like drowning slowly. He was in so much pain. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. We had to make a scene before the doctors relented and drained his chest.
