Why are there no videos showing this girl is awake? I see lots of videos where her eyes are always covered and the last one shows little hearts taped on her eyes. Weird! Did nahlia accidentally step on the shades, perhaps in a drunken stupor? You are aware she's quite fond of the bottle, yes?
Those movements are being done by a tens unit too. They make the muscles spasm and jerk around. I just saw the most enlightening video on a facebook page where a tens unit is making the arm flop around, just like Jahi's arm did.
And I don't think these pictures were taken last week, I think they were taken over a year ago... But they could be recent, if you consider the coprpse of Vladimer Lenin, died in 1924 and still looks VERY good for being dead that long.
These questions are honest ones. I see many, many holes in their story, and many secretive acts that some lucky people have found out and put it on the internet.
And I'm rather audaciosly logical when it comes down to it.
I have been monitoring this case mostly because of the updates from the News Bot. While I have no particular position about it I feel that if a child goes for what should be a simple procedure she should not come out of it a vegetable - someone must take responsibility for that.
I'm curious as to why of all the Topics here you would join specifically for this one? Do you have a personal vested interest in this case or a representative of the hospital? I do not know if you are a parent, but if it was your child what would you do?
I'm a local woman who has been innuated with the news. I am also a person who suffered tremendous personal loss over 3 years ago. My recovery was as grueling as it gets, but I did learn how to live again. I am also a former patient of OCH, which is a very wonderful hospital, and anyone worth their salt knows this.
Yes, it did get personal on a few levels. I think right now my biggest gripe is they actually want to sue this fine institution. It is highly valued in our community and in California. I am darn tired of OCH beiing disprespected, and smeared, by what I see as a pack of liars. They have done nothing to prove conclusively that this child lives. They need to have an outside audit for one thing. For another, why is it taking them so long to build their case? Are they having a hard time coming up with a good story? It seems so.
Will I get my questions answered now? I know you can only say so much, since you aren't at Jahi's bedside.
But has any of my questions and theories made sense to you? Is it worth discussing further?
What is the issue with whether the patient is awake or not? Isn't it the responsibility of the hospital if they performed a medical procedure on a patient that they should give every opportunity for the patient to recover? Along with JB I also ask if it were your child what would you do?

Comments: The issue isn't if the child is awake or not, it is that she is dead and no hospital has a responsibility to a person's care after they have expired. Keeping dead people on a respirator isn't ethical. Any sane parent would not do it. We all feel sorry for any parent who loses a child but we can't afford to keep dead ones on mechanical support at the expense of the government.
The issue is a bunch of videos, with no concrete evidence at all.
As for the routine procedure, take note of this description in San Jose Mercury News 12/21/13:
