Reply To: Are hospitals "organ harvest happy"?

Sorry, I used the word prepped at the wrong place, the article actually said “preparing her organs for donation” (which wrongly makes it seem like the organs were no longer part of her body) but the facts still stand. Here’s the full text, and was reported/copied by many news sources.

A 14-year-old girl wounded in a deadly shooting spree in Michigan this weekend was initially pronounced brain dead at the hospital before she squeezed her mother’s hand and was rushed to surgery, her family told authorities.

She is now in critical condition and “fighting for her life,” her family said.

The teen, who was shot in a Kalamazoo Cracker Barrel parking lot Saturday, was pronounced brain dead shortly after arriving at Bronson Methodist Hospital, Michigan State Police Lt. Dale Hinz told ABC News today.

The mother then asked her daughter to squeeze her hand again if she could hear her, and she did, Hinz said. The doctor asked the girl to give a thumbs up if she could hear him, and she gave two thumbs up, he added.

The hospital then immediately started prepping the 14-year-old for surgery, the lieutenant said.
