Subject: Re: [LNCExchange] MEDICAL : LAW CASES: Faith Leaders Call on
Prosecutors to Investigate Jahi Mcmath Case
Those nurses of us who have worked intensive care units, have seen this
scenario play out too many times with children and young adults. To
establish brain death, usually 3 EEGs 24 hours apart, all with flat lines,
was the standard used when I worked in the units.
This is frequently not convincing to loved ones and family. It is one
thing to hold out hope, another to hold false hope. It is so important to
present this situation in an extremely tactful loving way. It takes time
for loved ones to comprehend the full impact of this terrible truth.
When I worked with pediatric hospice patients, parents almost never
accepted that death was inevitable. Sometimes the healthcare system paints
a picture of "the knight in shinning armor being able to save everyone",
and the naive public wants desperately to believe in miracles.
My prayers and thoughts are with this family and the healthcare staff
tonight.

OAKLAND -- Faith leaders on Sunday called on Alameda County District
Attorney Nancy O'Malley to open an investigation into the case of an
Oakland girl who was declared brain-dead days after tonsil surgery at
Children's Hospital Oakland.
.

.
"Is not Jahi worthy of the highest amount of medical treatment?" asked
Brian K. Woodson Sr., pastor of Bay Area Christian Connection. "We say to
this hospital, when you have done wrong as a hospital, you need to pause.
This is not about profit margins, this is about people."
.
The ministers asked that the hospital either discipline its chief of
pediatrics, Dr. David Durand, or require that he attend sensitivity
training. The family has accused Durand of being insensitive during
private meetings.
.
"As clergy, we're also concerned about allegations surrounding a hospital
representative in a recent meeting with family members where the
(hospital) representative allegedly shared, 'she is dead, dead, dead,
dead,'" according to the statement. Family attorney Christopher Dolan has
said, "and I am hoping the courts will say, 'no, no, no.'"
.
Jahi's case has garnered national attention and reignited a debate over
the meaning of "brain-dead." On Friday, an Alameda County Superior Court
judge ruled that the hospital has to keep Jahi on a ventilator until a
court-approved doctor can assess whether the teen has a chance of
recovery.
.
The temporary restraining order directs the hospital to keep Jahi on the
ventilator and continue to give her intravenous fluids through Monday,
when the doctor will perform a brain activity test on Jahi. A court
hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. Monday, the same time an hourlong march will
begin outside Children's Hospital to support the family.
