I would like to comment on the bedwetting. I do reports on older kids who are still wetting the bed. Many factors contribute. It is a stress for the family especially because Pullups at a certain point do not contain all the urine nor do adult diapers so moms (and fathers also if they take...

After reading the comment that NW feels the hospital would have taken better care of her if she was an organ donor I wonder what she is referring to? Not putting in the feeding tube?

This is an article from Atul Guwande, MD. For those of you who are not familiar with him he is a surgeon who has written books about medical practice and performance of hospitals. There is a little more info about the apnea test which I did not know and explains it more in layman's terms...

A passionate Dr. Drew...

There is always that small risk that something catastrophic can happen. A small but real risk especially with this kind of surgery. Is there a way to find out how many of these surgeries are done each year at CHO and what the complication rates are. What is the surgeon's record? You...

I feel this is insightful. I also think that NW by not pulling the plug feels that she has done everything to save her child in addition to demanding she be fed. I am thinking of her words "what kind of mother would I be if I let them unplug her." It is another way of coping with the guilt...

I think people are headline readers and do not click on or read beyond. They will see tabloids this week and read the latest "Jahi McMath in Very Bad Shape After Weeks of Starvation and Neglect" and form an opinion. If the talking heads only see the headlines and don't do research surely much...

That is what concerns me also. Let's not forget putting a child "on death row" as if she is being punished. If you do understand brain death and that the child had been diagnosed as such you could take her statements as the hospital unhooks life support from a living child because they are in...

To those that feel that religious preferences should be honored where do you come down on the family who does not believe in blood transfusions for a child in the face of serious bleeding. I was talking to a woman is Jewish and she says that in Jewish law food and water must never be...

This is an interesting article written by MD. What is even more interesting are the comments written below as to what might have happened. http://overlawyered.com/2013/12/jahi-mcmaths-routine-tonsillectomy/

Did you read the facebook comments linked to his show? They are ready to hang him out to dry and are very angry. An RN talking about how brain dead patients don't have any reflexes. And of course stories of their brain dead relatives who came to life and were sitting up and talking again...

Perhaps that is what the hospital's legal counsel was thinking and why they agreed to let her be discharged.

But I don't know that the hospital was giving her antibiotics, etc. But perhaps now the family can understand why they would not/could not insert a feeding tube.

I don't know if this article has been posted. http://sandrarose.com/2014/01/jahi-mcmath-attorney-shes-in-very-bad-shape/

I think Dr. Drew should debate Nancy Grace.
