And I want to say, that this matter on Andrea Clark makes me so mad, so indignant, that I feel like bringing my fist down into my hand - how can something so wrong be so quietly abdicated by an ethics committee meeting without legal representation from the family?
Can you feel the forces of the strong being brought against the forces of the weaker? A woman lies face up, breathing via respirator, struggling in and out of consciousness, being told when she comes about only that she has a matter of days before her care is summarily ended, and she is made to be no more on earth and this means... no more than thousands of dollars to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital! This woman, who said she wanted a hamburger the last time she was awake, who turned to crying and hysteria after being told that the insurance company and hospital had determined to pull her life support the following week. Can you imagine?!?!
This is wrong. So wrong. It cries to Heaven for vengeance, and how will that come about? What can be done to stop this?
Who stands up for those who cannot stand up for themselves?
