  • Black quadriplegic gets admitted to St. David's for Covid.
  • Doctor determines his quality of life won't improve and recommends ending treatments.
  • Wife disagrees but doctor appeals to the state to have her medical guardianship removed.
  • Wife records conversation. Doc claims quality of life concerns. St David's ceases treatment against family's wishes (intubation was never on the table, fyi)
  • Giving her husband food, water, oxygen and medicine would have not been burdensome treatment.
  • Dude dies.
