I read thru your many posts with many good points. However, what is happening in the McMath case is not blind insistence on some kind of "faith" that this adverse event that is happened and is going to reverse if there is enough prayer. If you've read any of the news coverage or perused the other news stories and comments on this case, this is the worst case of GUILT ever. People of "Faith" are not rude, obnoxious and demanding as this family was from the day she was admitted (day before) to the day they were "allowed" to take her out of the facility at CHO. All reports indicated that they blatantly violated post op orders by feeding her solid food and cold food which I don't have to explain to you folks why that was the causative factor with her fatal bleed out. Grandma an LVN at Kaiser admitted on HLN that "she had to suction Jahi because nobody else would" then tried to back pedal out of it. Sorry It's on YouTube. It's there for infinity. Granny also stated that Jahi had to "suction herself". There are reports of eye witnesses from other families that were in the recovery room, but they have disappeared from the magic WWW probably because of a gag order from the hospital which will not be able to vindicate themselves until this long drawn out mess is over. What a waste of resources. My point is - one cannot claim to be a "person of faith" and ACT like a bunch of ignorant, offensive and arrogant buffoons and terrorize the staff, other patients and family members because the outcome is not what they expected, and especially since THEY are the ones who are entirely culpable in this whole tragic affair. I truly send my thoughts and prayers to the staff who were on duty when all this went down and hope they can get the counseling they need so THEY can have peace of mind. Mcmaths family likely will never achieve any type of peace. they will go on masquerading behind their "religion" while their true colors are more than apparent to the public the more they try to carry on this charade. I am sorry to be so long winded by I just have to have my say. thanks.

I remember this a long time ago when I was a student nurse working as a CNA. I worked hard too, keeping my legally blind but brilliant mother alive and kicking until she was past 90. She was a BSN grad from University of Miami at Cincinnati in the 1940's and her specialty was Public Health. I rehabbed her thru a major stroke which she recovered 95%, and again after she fell and hit her head. She was at St. Joe's for 5 days touch and go, and finally came out of it and said to me " Get me the HECK (not her words) OUT OF HERE, and I'll do anything you want". Well, I was helped by staff to stuff her into my car and I had to do a fireman's carry to get into the house. After that we went to the gym 5 days a week for an hour. She was the sharpest, wittiest person and the best friend I ever had. Nurses Rock! I had to become one when we moved to Arizona just to compete with her. Thanks for listening to my story.
