\u201cIs a doctor legally allowed to permit his patient to vegetate?\u201d <\/p>\n

I turned and looked at Mark, his face lit by the overhead lights. Choosing my words carefully, I said, \u201cThere is no law that governs the method of care given a patient in a particular medical situation. To create such a law would be to tie a doctor\u2019s hands, legislate medical care, which is half art anyway. So, yes. A doctor can allow his patient to receive less than adequate care.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking into her friend’s state seems to have riled someone up, as bad things suddenly start happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t look at Mark though I know he stared at me. \u201cDid they take anything?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. It\u2019s your house. But there were some clean places in the dust, so I\u2019d guess so.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I liked the medical bits in the story, although I did find myself rather horrified at the conditions under which a rural ER doctor is expected to operate.<\/p>\n

It was interesting, and I’m glad I read it, but I’m also glad I got it on sale.<\/p>\n
