St. Lukes Reneges. Andrea Clark Needs Us Again!!!
Apparently, the bastards at St. Luke’s have issues with honesty and integrity, and they still plan to pull the plug on Andrea before Tuesday.
From John Hawkins at Right Wing News:
I’ve just spoken with Andrea’s sisters, Melanie Childers and Lanore Dixon today, as well as Andrea’s lawyer, Jerri Ward.
Unfortunately, St. Luke’s has reneged on the deal. Lanore told me that about 20 minutes before Andrea was supposed to be moved to the Illinois facility, St. Luke’s told the family the move was off. It seems that St. Luke’s decided at the last minute that Glenshire Nursing & Rehab Centre in Illinois isn’t equipped to care for Andrea, which is a bit puzzling, since Lanore told me they helped set up the transfer in the first place.
This means that Andrea’s life is still in danger. Jerri tells me that the hospital has only promised, in writing, to not pull the plug on Andrea on Sat, Sun, or Mon. But, from Tuesday on, they’re reserving the right to pull her life support at any time after giving “reasonable” notice to the family. What is “reasonable” notice that you’re about end an innocent woman’s life against her wishes and the wishes of her family?
In any case, on Tuesday, the hospital has a meeting scheduled about Andrea and the one sliver of good news is that the family says they have a doctor with privileges at St. Luke’s who is willing to go in and argue that Melanie is not medically futile. Whether that will make a difference is impossible to say at this point.
The bottom line here is that according to Andrea Clark’s family, St. Luke’s has not lived up to their end of the bargain and has only agreed in writing to extend Andrea’s life one day beyond the old deadline of Sunday.

Start calling people. Andrea needs us now, more than ever.
