Sure, I believe it was his intent to care for her. But after 8 years, all hope was gone

It wasn't 8 years. He discontinued rehabilitative treatment and placed a DNR on her chart a mere 3 months after the settlement award, only three years after her collapse.

(no one has recovered from PVS after 3 years).

Simply not true. Numerous examples have been cited on numerous threads.

"He discontinued rehabilitative treatment and placed a DNR on her chart ..."

Yes, but he was still paying for her care. And he continued to pay for her care for another 5 years. Geez, if he was so intent on getting rid of her, why did he wait five years? C'mon.

"Simply not true. Numerous examples have been cited on numerous threads."

It is true. Those other examples were patients in a coma, not in a persistent vegetative state. Totally different.
