ANOTHER FORCED EXIT?
Too many to keep up with!

Rest of the story...

I told the first part of the story earlier of the good friend and uncle of our very close friends. He had fallen off a ladder, bumped his head, complained about it and some time later they called an ambulance. At the hospital, they said they had to put him under sedation and soon as they started, he nearly flat-lined. Then they opened his trachea and put in a tube which infected. Gave him lots of antibiotics and advised his wife he was brain dead and they should pull the tubes.

They said the cause was blood thinners which left his vessels in brain so weak they burst.

She followed whatever they insisted to her and agreed he should be let go since his organs shut down. So a couple days ago they pulled the plug, took him off ventilator, stopped feeding and all liquid.

When family remarked he could see and tried to look around, the doc said it was reflex, that his brain was gone.

To everyone's amazement, he didn't die, but the doc will ensure he can't survive. The doc said he was PVS so could not feel pain, but explained the need for morphine drip just in case.

In this case, it was not courts or rules of the hospital. The poor wife is in shock and acquiesced and the doctor bullied her into submission. After all, doctors are so educated and knowledgeable they must know best. That is how so many of us are conditioned.

We would be unable to convince the wife otherwise. She is devastated and trying to force it from her mind and not think of it. Our good friend will die as did Terri, most likely of dehydration.
Our close friends understand what happened as do we, but are unable to change this path.

We are praying for Uncle and hope others will too.
