Nothing is wrong with erring on the side of caution.
That is why you do the tests ... which the parents are refusing. Notice it's tests (plural).

I like Lara Logan but she’s pushing clickbait bullshite here.
And NC Tiger is a DOCTOR as well as one of the better more logical posters on here. Who also has connections at the hospital in question
NC can you please explain why it matters or if it matters at all about running the brain scans when the swelling hasn’t gone down as claimed?

More swelling results in more pressure on soft tissues, which translates to less blood flow to areas of the brain. But swelling is a temporary situation.
So as we aggressively work to reduce swelling and ICP, we also measure ICP to ensure progress. To answer your question, terminal brain function is not in the assessment differential until ICP normalizes
So the unfortunate message here is, ICP is normal while Glasgow Coma Scale (PEx brain function results) are ominous. Next would be to run successive dx EEG's

Are you involved? I stopped looking at your postings for links to info after a couple of pages.

It's the Poli board. It's what we do, is it not?
Dude does seem rather unhinged.

This tiny little girl has shown some signs of recovery nearly drowning on Memorial Day and multiple doctors agree the hospital needs to give her time for the swelling on her brain stem to go down - but the Hospital is pushing to do a brain function test and wants the family to donate her organs. Debra Sukin is the President & CEO. She will not let this child be transferred to another hospital - she is blocking the parents from fighting for the life of their little girl and violating their religious belief in the sanctity of life. The parents got a temporary restraint order against the hospital to give jen time & a radical Progressive judge blocked it & gave the hospital the right to do the brain function test now before she has had time to heal.
There are TWO other Texas hospitals in the area standing by ready to take this child. How can anyone let Texas Children’s murder this little girl?
Please share, please raise your voices, please do anything you can.
There is definitely more to this story.
It sounds like TCH--one of the top children's hospitals in the world--is trying to determine if the patient is already dead. "Brain dead" is clinically and legally dead. Thats not a persistent vegetative state with a chance of recovery. Its no different than "heart death" after a heart attack.

#1 This is a personal tragedy beyond measure for the poor parents. Horrible. But their baby is brain dead. They are not using their own resources to keep her alive. They are using everyone else's, which would be fine if the outcome was variable. It isn't.
#2 No one has made the imbecilic claim you did in the OP
#3 Paxton has turned a terrible MEDICAL situation, which neither he nor you (obviously) understand, into a political one.
Not surprising, but NC you are right on the money here. You beat me to it.

No.
Is the OP?
Any other questions?

My 45 yr old son was declared brain dead at the age of 2 months. I physically blocked them from pulling the respirator. Nurse that had rank of Major interceded for me and got my son and I 24 more hours. Son passed his EEG the next morning. Always fight these people
Well if some rando on twitter said it, it must be true....

I'm too tired to read what is going on, but I'll side with the doctors in this thread

The child had the accident around Memorial Day. What’s the rush to declare brain death and pull support?
What's the "rush" to determine if a patient is alive or not? That's really your question?
