Brian McCall, The Remnant: One story that must not be swept under the rug is the brutal treatment of young Jahi McMath and her family. The story sounds unbelievable when revealed in all its gory detail. But we must not be like the well intentioned in Nazi-ruled Germany and simply dismiss the reports as unbelievable. Following conversations with members of the McMath’s life saving team and one doctor involved in the attempts to rescue Jahi I have learned first-hand of the depths of the depravity involved in this sad tale.
Jahi is a 13-year-old girl who until recently lived and played and went to school in California. She was admitted to Oakland Children’s Hospital for a routine tonsillectomy. Nothing about her experience should seem routine but sadly in a medical industry out of control it is most likely more routine than we might think. In connection with the surgery she began to bleed profusely. The family was told it was normal bleeding, but it was not. The bleeding caused her to go into cardiac arrest which caused injury to her brain, resulting in a comatose state. She was put on a ventilator to allow her to continue to breathe, but, within four days, Oakland Children’s Hospital tried to pull the plug on the ventilator. Full account is here.
