Not to be insulting but the girl did seem extremely overweight for a 13 year old. I think maybe the complications had to do with her overall health. But on the other hand, she had her life in the hands of a terrible hospital.

Kind of the wrong outlet to bring that up though.

You know why this is a story? (I mean, besides the crazy magical thinking parents.) because this never happens. It seems newsworthy.

I meant on the news page.. Because I feel its inappropriate to discuss that there. Certainly there could be other things factoring into the reason it happened but I would think there are better places to discuss that sort of stuff..  Not to mention that a few of the people on there didn't say anything besides saying her parents shouldnt have let her be so fat. Kinda shitty IMO

LOL.. Yeah, I don't think there is anything that people on the shroomery have discussed, ripped apart, analyzed and shit on over the years...

You gotta wonder with the number of people that use this site, how often something from the news that  is being discussed is actually personal to someone.

Yup. This one instance could, one could argue should, add comfort to getting your tonsils out. Have you ever heard of this happening? Despite being one of the most common surgeries, no less than trimming away part of your throat.

Yeah shitty. People are shitty. Everyone should know by now that you don't read comments if you are not prepared to hear the absolute worst things you could ever imagine being said.

I really feel for the girls family but have they thought of the ethics involved with keeping their daughter hooked up to machines?

Here in the UK where we don't have insurance that girl will be using up vital resources which could be reallocated to pay for life saving procedures rather than prolonging someone's death.

Same thing here. Even worse, because this girl is in a hospital that is no doubt overcrowded. This is type of situation where you are forced to choose between superstition and practicality... Pragmatic actions must take precedence over someone's spirituality.

There seems to be a knee jerk reaction that doctors must do eveything in their power to keep someone alive, however, sometimes the kindest thing is to allow someone to slip away comfortably.

There is something called Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) which health economists use to tell us how many years of life would be added by a treatment. A year of perfect health is equal to 1.0 whereas a year of being bedridden would have a QALY of 0.5 i.e. a year of being bedridden is equal to half a year of perfect health. As soon as either the cost per QALY becomes to high or the QALY becomes too low then that treatment is not advised.

This will irk some people who say every life is worth living, but I would ask them if they would like to live for 10 years with a QALY of 0.1 where they are in constant pain and being fed by a machine?
