Why not? They have an infirmary he can vegetate in.
In cases I've watched, LE (jails) will do everything possible to try and NOT admit accused perps to their jail infirmary. If they need more care than the jail can provide they'll search high and low to find another facility to dump them. My guess is FD will probably not
go back to any normal jail cell. It's not too likely he'll
recover enough to be a normal jail inmate.
If he improves somewhat the state will be shopping secure nursing homes where he will probably languish until he passes.
But why would they put him in the hyperbaric chamber if he had massive brain damage. Is that standard of care?
Not in my area, it is not. Wonder if we'll ever find out WHO actually made the decision to
order this care? Wonder if his sister was involved and wanted to push the limit on trying
all options before pulling the plug?
Did he have insurance and did they approve of
this use of h.chamber? Usually insurance must be contacted and often times they refuse all
"extrordinary" heroics on a brain damaged
patient. Or did the hospital want to pass the
patient on to another hospital as in he was
a "hot potato" w/ loads of liability looming.
Or was FD a "non-paying patient with no resources or no insurance?
Lots of questions here on this case.
