Albert Barnes appointed his wife as his medical decision-maker several years ago, and asked that she pursue aggressive care if there was any chance he could recover. That is exactly what she is doing. But Albert's healthcare providers at Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital are asking the Hennepin County Probate Court to remove her decision-making authority over Barnes' care, arguing that she is making misguided and reckless choices. Lana argues that "the doctors are recommending a 'death order' and I don't think my husband should die of a misdiagnosis." (Star Tribune)
Probate Referee Dean M. Maus has delayed decision on Methodist's petition until February 2d. But he did place temporary responsibility for Barnes' care with Alternate Decision Makers Inc., a Minneapolis firm that specializes in such disputes.
