Houston Methodist Hypocrisy, End Medical Tyranny
Houston Methodist on vaccine Mandate Vs Texas 10 day Law
"I feel strongly that we must protect our patients, who are some of the most vulnerable in our community," said Dr. Boom. "I am confident that our employees who are not vaccinated yet will do so by the deadline, as we are all committed to protecting our patients."
-Dr Boom CEO Houston Methodist
Houston Methodist- is this manslaughter?? not sure just asking
In November of 2015, Houston Methodist invoked the Texas 10-Day-Law (Chapter 166.046 of the Health & Safety Code), which grants a hospital committee the power to decide that a patient’s life-sustaining care can be removed with only 10-days’ notice. The 10-Day-Law strips the patient’s constitutional right to due process, and the committee’s decision overrules a patient’s expressed wishes or those of the patient’s lawful surrogate. In other words, hospital panels have the right to decide which medically vulnerable Texans live and die.
Chris was a 46-year-old son, brother, and friend who became ill. Any one of us could face a similar fate. Chris and his devoted mother, Evelyn, first learned of this draconian and unjust law when Houston Methodist informed them in 2015 that Chris would be removed from life-sustaining care just two days before Thanksgiving. Chris and his family acquired legal representation and fought Houston Methodist’s attempt to remove life-sustaining care. Chris was conscious and communicative, repeatedly conveying his desire to continue treatment. Arranging a transfer to another facility willing to treat him was difficult because he was receiving breathing assistance and was gravely ill with an undiagnosed condition.
Not only did Houston Methodist relentlessly persist in their attempt to use the 10-Day-Law to end Chris’s care, the hospital also filed an injunction seeking custodial guardianship of Chris. The injunction would have given a Houston Methodist employee the power to make Chris’s medical decisions instead of his mother. Houston Methodist also barred visitors from Chris and his family, further undermining his rights and bringing pain to his distressed family.
