The family's lawyers aren't psychic, which means that there were medical procedures done to determine what condition the fetus was in.

I know that after working as a nurse for many years . Like Tbaby said , the hospital can't speak on the babies health . The husband hired independent people to come to that conclusion . I saw a panel talk tonight about a Doctor that plans to tell the truth either way behind a black screen . I will remain skeptical of that husband . JMO

Her body was literally breaking down. This case really bothered me because it was so incredibly grotesque. I can understand a husband not wanting to watch his wife practically decay right before his eyes, especially against her wishes. Even her family knew what she wanted. There were no arguments from the people who probably knew her best. Her father said she felt like a mannequin when he touched her. I can't imagine going through that.

Saw on local Houston news that the hospital has until Monday 5 pm to remove her from life support, however, the hospital planned on filing an appeal.
Talks of getting an attorney (guardian ad liteum) for the fetus. This is going to be interesting as to how it pans out.
eta: Also, how long was the wife on life support before the husband/family decided to respect her wishes?
Where in the article does it states that he immediately said take her off or that he waited 3 days before saying take her off? I am just curios at to the timeframe when he indicated he wanted to respect his wife's wished and have her removed?

I know it wasn't considered but I wonder if the fact that the fetus was recently found to be severely deformed had any effect on the ruling. |
U know that's what is was. Ain't nobody in Texas have a change of heart because it was the right thing.

same here...this was just disgusting...how can you be pro life but disregard the life of the human carrier? there is something incredibly dark about keeping a dead body alive for months to birth something living. if i were a part of that family i would be consumed in nightmares. they should've let Jesus take the wheel.

HIPAA applies in a court of law? They may not be able to talk to the media, but they certainly can talk to the judge.
A covered health care provider or health plan may disclose protected health information required by a court order, including the order of an administrative tribunal. However, the provider or plan may only disclose the information specifically described in the order. A subpoena issued by someone other than a judge, such as a court clerk or an attorney in a case, is different from a court order. A covered provider or plan may disclose information to a party issuing a subpoena only if the notification requirements of the Privacy Rule are met. Before the covered entity may respond to the subpoena, the Rule requires that it receive evidence that reasonable efforts were made to either: - notify the person who is the subject of the information about the request, so the person has a chance to object to the disclosure, or to
- seek a qualified protective order for the information from the court.
