At the start of this fiasco, I had no intention of posting about it or even commenting. But as a dear dear friend recently reminded me, "the best laid plans of mice,,,." You get the picture.
I will still follow it, though most likely will no longer post unless something major comes about. Maybe when the family's ill advised lawsuit comes about and it is determined that the family contributed to her death by giving her food. Or when the lawyer representing the family is brought up on ethic charges, as he is reportedly part of a group Consumer Attorneys of California. Said group is currently lobbying to eliminate the cap on "pain and suffering." His motivation for representation IMHO is not all that it is cracked up to be.
There have been more such "accusations" but those are 2 that stand out in my mind.

A California girl who was declared brain-dead after a tonsillectomy last month and later moved to a new care facility after a legal battle has undergone surgery to insert feeding and breathing tubes, a family attorney said on Wednesday.
Jahi McMath, 13, was transferred from Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, outside of San Francisco, where she had remained without brain activity for nearly four weeks, to an undisclosed Catholic care center on Sunday night.
Doctors at the new care center performed tracheostomy and gastrostomy surgeries, Christopher Dolan, attorney for the girl's family, said in a Twitter message on Wednesday.
"She is doing very well, and now getting the treatment she should have gotten 28 days ago," Dolan said. "Doctors are optimistic that her condition has stabilized."
