Like I said in the first post about this -- and I feel even more angry than I did then -- it's time for the poor man's family to sue that hospital. When "a committee" just states policy and forgets what's important, than they are acting less than human and there is no place for that in places that are supposed to be in the business of healing.
I don't know if anyone here has had nausea from their illness. My sister has days of nausea after her chemo and it's a really terrible thing. She's never more than an arm's length away from a little basin to use when she starts to gag. She can't eat, can't drink, can't even smell food without feeling like her insides are going to come out. I can see why this man needed marijuana to fight nausea.
The man, Timothy Garon, used a medication prescribed by his doctor. Period. There is no reason to penalize him TO DEATH because he followed instructions. It's time for his family to sue the hospital, not just to "get back" at them, but to make certain that nothing like this happens again to anyone in that or any other hospital.
Can you imagine how that family feels now? |

His family better sue that hospital. This is upsetting. If my family member was on a 'list' to get a liver transport when they need it most, I would of fought against it. |

Even though this is in hind sight, it does set a precedence for the future. Any family that finds themselves in such a position should publicly demonstrate from the onset, so at least the person's life can be saved. |
