[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1483438"] I couldn't read the article without subscribing to THE NEW YORKER but I did google the case. Several years ago, a very good friend lost his 8 year old daughter in a very similar way. Complications from the removal of her tonsils. She was sent home, but started bleeding severely. Rushed to hospital but she never revived. She was sent to UAB but she lost so much blood she was declared brain dead. Drs informed them that they had to make the decision. Thank God they didnt have to because she passed a few hours later. Hardest funeral I've ever been to. His daughter and mine were 2 weeks apart in age. I've changed some as I have seen death and suffering. I lost a sister to pancreatic cancer when she was 35. We prayed for a miracle until he last week of her life. Then I just wanted her suffering over. Watching her gasp and gurgle for a breath of air... late at night....no noise except that.... sitting and listening, I sure contemplated giving her a lethal dose of morphine. I didn't do it. But I sure couldn't judge someone for it after that. [/QUOTE]
