Gary Horan, the President and CEO of Trinitas Hospital, has a column today that defends the hospital's position both against some overstatements in recent op-eds and in the merits of the case itself. I have a comment to develop later (after Torts class). But I agree with this clear characterization of the appeal:
“In pressing this appeal, we hoped that the court would address a question faced by nearly every hospital: Should physicians be ordered by a family or court to impose treatment upon their patient when they feel such treatment is outside the standard of care, and even inhumane? . . . If the courts had ruled in our favor, the outcome might have empowered physicians nationwide to have a say in treatment that they deem inappropriate.”
