>> “I cut it, and I used their scissors, and I told her I was going to do that and she didn’t stop me. I wasn’t trying to harm him in any way, I was trying to bring the matter to attention,” she said.

People need to be careful about symbolic actions, gestures, and expressions.

Let me see if I get this right. She is more dangerous to her husband than the hospital that wants to pull the plug?

“He also says Gary’s condition is so severe that she would never be able to provide the care he needs.”

There are no home health care aides, and medication nurses making house calls in the entire county?

He’s in a terminal condition. Is her care likely to end his life sooner than dehydrating and starving him to death over two weeks?

You’re right about video taping things she didn’t like. That’s the best way to get it on the record.
