Description

To the Editor: John Robertson, in his article, "Extreme Prematurity and Parental Rights after Baby Doe" (HCR, July-Aug 2004), argues that parents should give up their right to refuse aggressive, experimental treatment for marginally viable fetal infants. Since he chose to highlight our daughter's case, Miller v. HCA, I was surprised he neglected to inform readers that he was prepared to argue the same points as a paid witness on behalf of health care giant HCA in January 1998--until the judge ruled that his testimony was "not relevant to any of the issues in our particular case." Mr. Robertson apparently feels the need to be heard and has chosen the Hastings Center Report as his bully pulpit. Unfortunately, I find myself again correcting the same half-truths, distortions, and factual misrepresentations that the hospital attempted to use to overturn the jury award in my daughter's case. That jury found that HCA violated Texas law and was guilty of "gross negligence" when a hospital administrator ordered a neonatologist into the delivery room without the required and express consent of the parents to treat.
