Black said that two patients have died under the terms of the law. He also said that he is aware of several cases of patients who were transferred in time and survived despite their diagnoses, and are now living normal lives.

And yet the culture of death thinks ten days is enough.

I wonder how many of the deathbots will wrongly assume he is in the country illegally and feel that he deserves to die for that if nothing else.

If only Terry Schiavo had been from Peru.

It is a sad day when you have to airlift a person OUT of an American Hospital to a 3rd world one so that they may live.

Good thing for this guy he wasn’t in Crist’s Florida.

After heavy negative coverage in the Peruvian media, protests from Peruvians living in Texas, and the intervention of Collins and other Texas pro-lifers, John Peter Smith Hospital agreed to pay for the flight, which reportedly cost $80,000.

Eighty grand? What a scam.

I hope my children won't wait 10 days.

No heroic measures to be applied here. I've stated that clearly.

And I wait to wake up to something besides a full bladder and catz wanting food.... Angels singing would be good.

Besides, the VA couldn't be concerned about an old vet when they have others to worry about.

10 days? Egads.

As an aside, it is critically important to remember a very important discovery, if any member of your family or friends are transported to a hospital in an unconscious state. Importantly, this information may not be widely known in hospital emergency rooms.

Find out immediately if the oxygen they are being given has been pre-warmed. Cold oxygen may make a coma state much worse:

“Another documented case reports recovery of a small number of patients following the removal of assisted respiration with cold oxygen. The researchers found that in many nursing homes and hospitals unheated oxygen is given to non-responsive patients via tracheal intubation.

This bypasses the warming of the upper respiratory tract and causes a chilling of aortic blood and chilling of the brain.

The researchers describe a small number of cases in which removal of the chilled oxygen was followed by recovery from the PVS and recommend either warming of oxygen with a heated nebulizer or removal of the assisted oxygen if it is no longer needed.

The authors further recommend additional research to determine if this chilling effect may either delay recovery or even may contribute to brain damage.”

* Ford GP and Reardon DC (Aug 2006). “Prolonged unintended brain cooling may inhibit recovery from brain injuries: case study and literature review”. Med Sci Monit. 12 (8): CS74-79.

(I would also add that if the patient is elderly, very cold or iced beverages should be avoided in the hospital, as it could cause internal hypothermia, and cause convulsions, or worse. If possible, ask elderly relatives and friends if they prefer to drink room temperature or warm beverages, or if they do not care for cold or iced beverages. This could be a lifesaver.)

Texas aint shining in the press lately.

"Since my father became ill I have had to work at night and abandon my pre-university studies. My sister also works in a clothing factory. Despite the effort we don't have the ability to save the $50,000 to rent an air ambulance to return my father to Peru," Jesus Sanchez told El Comerc

NFW.

They make a case for a brain dead illegal alien that WE are supporting?

Here’s one for you.

About 3 years ago, my x husband in LA was in a car wreck. Knocked out, broken leg, ankle, sternum. The ambulance took him to LA general (I may have the name wrong-nasty place never the less). He laid there, without xrays for over a week. They would drug him once in a while, thank God. They refused to bring him a phone. No one knew where he was. I finally got hold of someone and they went there. NO ONE spoke English. My daughter and son drove 750 miles to get him out. At first they wouldn’t release him. They never met my daughter.....hell, I’m afraid of her! He’s a Viet Nam vet. Volunteered. Now he’s in a wheelchair, helpless and hopeless, living with my daughter and her family.

Tell me this stuff doesn’t affect us badly? Bull.

I’m sick of this crap.

[Dog Gone]

So who’s going to pay for his $450,000 in medical costs while he was here?

[AuntB]

I don’t get it, if he’s here legally he can get medicare. The illegals get medicare. I don’t like this article and the title stinks. Why didn’t they take him back to Peru if they were so concerned about him?

There’s just nothing good with our immigration system. It’s overwhelmed and just not working anymore.

“A Day in the Life of USCIS”- (Is this any way to protect our nation?)

by Mike Cutler, former INS agent

http://uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/DayinLife_050629.pdf (click here to see orignial document)

Some of the DAILY work of USIS according to their own document:

* Conduct 135,000 national security background checks

* process 30,000 applications for immigrant benefits

* Issue 7,000 permanent resident cards (green cards -PER DAY)(This is what McCain wants to increase....5 days per week x 7,000 x 52 weeks= 1,820,000 PER YEAR)

* Welcome 2100 new citizens.

* Welcome 3500 new permanent residents.(more of what McCain would increase....3500x5x52weeks=910,00 PER YEAR)

John Peter Smith Hospital is the county hospital in Fort Worth, they are going to try to save money at any cost. I don’t recommend the place.
