Real Life John Q: Guy Refuses to Let Hospital Pull Plug on Son... in the end HE WAS RIGHT!
Duration: 1:14 Views: 9.2K Submitted: 3 weeks ago Submitted by:
A Modern-Day John Q
When doctors in Texas declared his son brain-dead and prepared to pull the plug, George Pickering II refused to let go.
Desperate, he drew a gun and locked down the ICU demanding just one thing: time.
For hours, the standoff dragged on. Then, in the stillness, his son squeezed his father’s hand. Twice.
In that instant, George’s defiance was vindicated. His son was alive.
George went to prison for nearly a year.
But his son recovered, completely.
And he calls his father one word the system never would: hero.

«You cross the lines from patient to victim once you're admitted. The hospital runs on profit. Not love, kindness, family, etc. They make more money if they admit and kill you on their grounds. Everyone that goes into an American hospital needs a hardcore advocate like that man.
I wish I had known that before.»

«@OwMyBawls Although I agree with some of this, hospitals don’t make more money from someone dying in their establishment. They’d make more money using resources on keeping someone alive.»

«Good for him, doesn't sound like the hospital staff waited very long before declaring death despite all the other coma patients who wait years on life support before some are lucky enough to recover»
