Why are physicians who are so quick to DX
"persistent vegetative state" for patients with an acquired brain
injury, so reluctant to discuss positives with families?
Why CAN'T we begin using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for
patients with hypoxic-anoxic brain injuries in the early stages?
Why are families not informed about the availability of Therapeutic
Hypothermia to decrease swelling in the brain and prevent further
damage?
Why are patients not transferred to the nearest hospital
where Therapeutic Hypothermia is available?
At what level of a brain injury does ending the life of the
patient become murder?
When signing papers to let a patient die, what percentage of brain damage crosses the line
between letting go and committing
murder?
Why do life insurance companies pay on policies when a
patient is not determined to be brain dead?
When does pushing families to end life become conspiracy
to commit murder?
Why do hospitals not give families of patients with an
acquired brain injury (ABI) fully informed information about resources in the
community for brain injury rehabilitation?
Why are families not informed by hospital staff about the
existence of brain injury certified case managers to help families make
decisions regarding rehabilitation and recovery?
When does dumping vulnerable patients into sub-standard
nursing homes against family wishes become kidnapping?
When does forcing non-custodial family members to sign
financial papers for admittance in nursing homes, when the patient was dumped
there by uncaring hospitals, become extortion?
Why do brain injury rehabilitation hospitals gain
millions of federal dollars each year have the right to deny ABIs
rehabilitation based on some hidden quota of 35%?
When does withholding rehabilitation for patients with an acquired
brain injury become morally reprehensible enough to society to demand change?
