Prayers for the family and the eternal soul of Jahi, whom departed this earth last year.
This is about money...If the story ended in the hospital....The liability was limited to $250,000. By going this route...there is no ceiling.
This is a very sad story, in that it was a tragedy that her family let her get the way so she had to get the surgery, second tragedy is the brain death, and third tragedy is how the family acted. They could have easily donated a majority of her organs to help save other(s) lives. Sad sad sad.
For the record, I posted the story only because I didn’t see it here yet. I don’t even know if the video is real.
The only opinion I have is: I can understand even more now why the family is unwilling to believe the doctors.
Correct:
Spinal cord reflexes cab be spared in these cases.
Withdrawal to noxious stimulation of the feet is a spinal reflex.
Who’s paying for this?
Dr. Neal E. Slatkin, a neurologist and chief medical officer at San Jose's Hospice of the Valley, said spontaneous movements aren't rare in brain-dead patients and can be seen in 50 percent or more of such patients.
The movement, according to Slatkin, could be spinally mediated reflexes or due to irritable nerves or muscle membranes reacting to the application of cold.
The movements are not an indication that she is alive, he said.
"She's brain-dead. She has no thought. She has no ability to control or interact with anything in her environment," Slatkin said. "She's completely dependent on machines and forever will be."
I don't know God's plan.
I believe Jahi, her soul, and all that made her that smiling little girl who she was, has been with the Lord since December 12.
I blame the family's attorney, Chris Dolan, for giving a family false hope for a brain-dead child.
That, of course, is only my opinion, and the opinion of every physician who has examined her, including the independent pediatric neurologist selected by the court to examine Jahi. Jahi's mother said she would accept the findings of the independent pediatric neurologist, until, of course, the physician agreed that Jahi was brain dead.
Jahi's uncle presumably believes she's dead. After all, he's the one who declared the $250,000 damages cap as 'chump change' in a press conference, and has already declared that $30 million is the more appropriate amount of damages.
I was wondering what has been happening to her. I’ve seen people on respirators come back to life and I’ve been there when they died. If you have never seen anyone die, it is instantaneous the second the soul leaves the body and very obvious.
While I don’t know what caused the complications, the Doctors knew without any tests that she was gone. They then did the tests confirming death. She is gone, her soulless body kept going artificially. The family needs to face the fact and grieve for their daughter and let her go home.
Brain death is mostly nonsense.
The son of one of my wife’s coworkers was declared brain dead last may, and by July he was walking unassisted.
They had Xrays showing that there was no brain tissue left that they used to try to get an OK to harvest his organs, and now they refuse to even take an Xray for diagnostic purposes.
Jahi will survive if they can keep the death culture at bay.
