I've followed her case since the start. I'm very glad that she's making progress back to what will hopefully be a normal, productive life.
May God bless Haliegh Poutre.
Michelle Malkin covered this story very well, here and here.
There's a nice place in Hell waiting for Jason Strickland, when he dies.
Hopefully his trip to Hell will be sooner than later.

ReplyDeleteI have not read much on this case I can see this kind of drama at work every day. I am curious why many blogs have attacked the hospital and state for moving too quickly to take her off life support. According to one article she was on for several months. Having tried to get the state off its ass to okay extubating a ward of the state I can tell you its a major pain in the ass. Most of the time they die of something else before the state will do anything.
ReplyDeleteThis is triage no personal. We have limited space and money for patients on the vent. I work in a 20 bed critical care unit. We have to clear beds to take patients from the OR and the open hearts we do. There are long term care facilities that will take critical patients but they usually have a waiting list for the patients that have insurance and the facilities that take charity cases have even longer waiting lists.
The system is not perfect but if the government ran it I doubt they would be willing to shell out the millions of dollars on lost causes like we do everyday.
