Thank you for your clear explanation. It is way more helpful than all these people shrieking about "more time!" I hope the family has level headed support during this very difficult time so that at the end of the day they know nothing could be done. Can you clarify one thing? You wrote, "the better question is why is the Texas hospital not following this standard." Do you know for sure TCH is not following this standard? I am do not have enough understanding of the situation to say whether they are or not.
@McJuggerNuggets Everyone who procures, pays for, or provides an abortion is liable for murder, in the eyes of God, and hopefully someday in the justice system
@triciachancey@aribindi@MaryBowdenMD@TexasChildrens All this about "stealing organs", has the family said anywhere that they are being pressured to remove life support so that the hospital can harvest organs? I have many concerns about organ donation but let's not veer into hysteria
I am glad it worked out for this profane woman (see her prior comments on my post) and I hope for a similar outcome for AC. Have you reviewed the medical records/neurological reports for AC and this woman's child and can you tell me how/if they are similar or different? If you have not, then you and her need to stop torturing the family of AC with false hope.
Insurance companies and actuaries put a value on human life everyday. Same question applies to end of life care for elders. How much hideously expensive care should we provide for a 92 year old with terminal cancer? Regardless of what medical "experts" would have you believe, dollars are finite and every dollar spent on a terminal diagnosis comes from somewhere
@aribindi@MaryBowdenMD@TexasChildrens I don't know all the medical details, but if this poor child's neurons are dead then all these people howling for "mooooore time" are being unspeakably cruel giving this suffering family false hope.
@SICU_Nurse@MaryBowdenMD@TexasChildrens I agree organ donation can be a beautiful gift but I also have serious concerns about the current system. Too many people are seeing some sort of nefarious conspiracy in the current sad situation
This person decided to use foul language and block me. I am happy their situation worked out, but I bet the underlining medical dx was different than the current case. I hope I am wrong and Annalise has a full recovery, otherwise @cheez_swis4255 is just cruely giving her family false hope
Yes, let's remove this girl from artificial life support and let God the Great Physician do His thing. People who truly believe in miraculous healing should be the first to advocate for removal of artificial support. At this point, artificial life support is most likely a panacea to assuage her parents, who no doubt are wracked with guilt, and be a false comfort for them
Its up to the family if they want to do organ donation. The hospital isn't going to steal her organs. The family needs to say goodbye and remove her life support. This honors the life this little girl lived. Keeping her "alive" with a mechanical heartbeat and ventilator isn't living as God intended.
Because humans are created in the image of God and Satan loves to attack that image. Western society and culture has done the best job at protecting humanity and promoting our collective flourishing. Satan hates that. Satan can't attack God directly so he attacks those who are made in His image. Turning westerners on themselves is a very effective way to attack the image of God
I am sure there is a large amount of corruption in CA elections. However, as a CA native (no longer live there) with many friends and family who still live in the state, I do believe the state is 70D/30R split, maybe 65/35 at best. I talk to my relatives and they all complain about the crime, chaos, open drug use, waste and fraud, illegal immigration, decaying infrastructure, taxes, etc but they will never EVER vote differently because Bad Orange Man Facist and Racist. Even the 1980s CA conservatives have mostly decided that the populist wing of the current GOP are Very Bad People. Its a weird, persistent brainwashing that has taken place. I don't think people who have not spent a significant amount of time there, or are in close contact with Californians can understand it.
