Of course insurance won't cover this sad folly. This yields more dramatic potential: How long can they keep this dead body going?

Plus regardless if you are a Christian or not the faith that this family has? Has been scoffed at! I disagree with the claim of lack of coverage, but I must say that a lot of coverage includes reporter speaking to the family in a condescending slow demeaning way. Any mother regardless of their race should at least be given at month or so to decide. If you do your research you will find that this isn't the first time this hospital has performed a minor surgery and it has resulted in a brain dead child. But you dont think of it that way because your top distracted. Why did it take so long for them to respond when the child was bleeding? Seems to me that they are trying to cover something up. But if you operate under the privilege license of the white veil, and the white frame,you can't see the ever present racism that infects every aspect of America. If she were white I do suspect that this child would get attention but more sympathetic understanding attention, and more time.

They die from from factors brought on by smoking. <br /><br />We have no idea what actually went wrong here, but 6:54 does mention a point that cannot be overlooked. The surgery was an attempt to cure sleep apnea, a condition quite often linked to obesity. In addition, obesity complicates any surgery and makes the procedure and recovery more risky. Fact is, there is certainly a chance that obesity played a part in placing this poor girl in the horrific situation in which she is now trapped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-22433602792188266092013-12-27T08:45:10.620-08:002013-12-27T08:45:10.620-08:00" . . . if she was white, the Fox folks . . ...." . . . if she was white, the Fox folks . . ."
