Yes LSL very well said.

I have an update, it complicated and lengthy. She was transferred to the hospital where bad wrecks, gunshots, burns, etc are sent. There are more specialist’s there.  
I’ll update everyone later, I’m tired, hungry and need to start dinner. Chris and I are cooking her husband and kids dinner tonight.

I must apologize a bit for my tone.

I had misread you as saying your late husband had instructed you to not take him to _any_ hospital, not just not one specific hospital. That misunderstanding changes the import of what I said. I’d thought of him as one of those cynics who believed all medical care was a cruel scam at best, and mere sadistic barbarism at worst.

Certainly there are bad, good, and better hospitals. Given the luxury of a choice I certainly know which local one I prefer over the others.

Good luck to your friend and it’s good to hear you’re helping the family.

They were giving her blood trans fusions. The stint did grow into her. She was just released yesterday. The stint has not been removed. She was told she will need a kidney. One thing I just found out was she is an anorexic/bulimic.  
I know her husband was called in to talk to someone in the offices of the hospital and told he should get a lawyer. That’s all I know for now.
