This girl went into the hospital for tonsil surgery, the hospital screwed up- badly. Now they are trying to euthanize her to cover it up. Welcome to ACA.

Can’t you just feel the compassion?

You have to wonder what the hospital is hiding.

The hospital wants her organs.

I was once in a similar situation. Paralyzied due to hospital error, on a ventilator and the hospital wanted my parents to turn it off so they can take my organs.

Who knows. All we know that if she is dead, then they killed her in a tonsil surgery. Not sure how much worse the truth can be than that.

Likely the cover-up is worse than the truth would have been. But who knows.

Unbelievable how callous the hospital is - especially since it's their fault.

What was it that Ronald Reagan said about a nation that ceases to be good will soon cease to great? Or something like that.

Prayers for Jahi’s soul and for the family as well. Gut-wrenching.

What a nightmare. Tonsil removal.

When I was a kid ,during WWII, there was a hospital bed shortage and tonsils would be removed on the kitchen table.

Prayers for this child.

The very LEAST this hospital should do is give the family reassurance the girl stays alive through the end of the year. This hospital turning this into a war at Christmastime is horrible.

Yes she may very well be dead, dead, dead.

For christ’s sake can you not let the parents have a few days with their daughter?

You nitwits killed her, and like total ghouls you want to harvest her organs and can’t let her parents have Christmas with her.

Disgusting.

Compassion is illegal under terms of the ACA.

The ACA is going to be a horrific scourge on our healthcare system; but it hasn’t started yet. It only actually kicks in on January 1st. The only reason these parents have *any* say in keeping the daughter on life support is that there are private entities involved here. Once people have ACA insurance; the Independent Advisory Board. (Death Panel) will make the decision to pull the plug. The parents won’t have any say in the decision.

Hope they can find highly competent lawyers.

Not sure you could find a good one.

“They said, ‘What don’t you understand?’ She is dead, dead, dead,’”


Sounds like something out of the mouth of Kathleen Sebelius..death panels are happening sooner than we think..this poor child, went to get a operation to help relieve her sleep apnea and now will probably die to to incompetence. Prayers for the family

Yes, good lawyers indeed. Else they’ll ‘Terry Schiavo” her for her parts.
