hey here's a really disturbing story
a dead woman woke up right before they were going to obviously she wasn't that
harvester oregon's and doctors and gave her a sedative and just plan to continue
removing her organs it's just unbelievable this happened a couple of
years ago but we're just now finding out about it because some of the documents a
finally been released
colleen burns was taken to an emergency room at saint joseph's hospital center
and she was suffering from a drug overdose
a nurse told doctors sheet is recovering she is alive
but doctors said no no no worker announcing her dad called her family her
family said folk a you can go ahead and harvester oregon's we want the organs to
go
for something good
obviously she wasn't that there were several signs that pointed towards
herding alive uh... a mandatory reflex test was performed on the under side
zipper feet and she did cruncher tellers she appeared to be breeding without a
respirator
didn't stop doctors nurses told doctors uh... that this was going on doctor said
give it is really powerful sedative
i'm not a doctor louis arnaud most people watch this show
it probably seems to them like i'm a doctor and i don't blame people for for
for thinking that but i'm actually not a doctor
but if someone requires a sedative before you remove all of their internal
organs
is that not an indication that the person's alive still
presumably across stymied said yes brother
what's most amazing about this is that the hospital was sanctioned
and unknown bir of mistakes were involved in the sanctions that total
fine for the hospital was only twenty-two thousand dollars uh... burns
declined to sue after all of this happened burns was
severely depressed and in fact colleen burns ended up taking her own life
a couple of the year and a half ago
at the age of forty-one nobody's blaming this makes up for her suicide she uh...
by all the nations was pleased
deeply
deeply ill and that this didn't play any kind of role
uh... by got so many mails about their same
david you realize it's going on here right
we have a for-profit health care system
and it's very clear that an individual
is worth more to the hospital dead
because of the organ harvesting then they would collect by billing colleen
burns for having capture alive
it's incredibly morbid and macabre
maybe there is some element of truth there what what i can say for what we
can say for sure that financial interests were at play here
what we can say for sure
is that having a for-profit health care system is not a positive influence on
american society
no doubt this is the situation where
uh... it should
they've been might have known that he didn't have the opportunity
and the money could have been a factor but at the same time
if you've got the woman who is uh... presumably en masse on your hands who
was an organ donor who is
on the verge of dying
and you're a doctor and you think to yourself
let's just put her out of the misery in the eighties organs can go to a young
child who
who needs them and isn't uh... isn't uh... a mess of the human beings
probably gonna die from another drug overdose later
or or damages organs beyond repair
i could see someone making that decision
now that is the right decision
no no no i did not even that was it's not even their decision-making you're
absolutely right that i could see them doing that dot and it's just incredible
because it wouldn't be their decision to make very very
concerning story
