Talk:Death of Tirhas Habtegiris

Where from?

Where did she came from exactly? East Africa is a mighty big place and "Tirhas Habtegiris" doesn't sound like any language that i heard of. --Amir E. Aharoni 21:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I met this lady over the last 2 hours before they pulled the plug on her. She was medicated but was able to respond to things and even write on paper. Baylor harassed because I was the only white person with the family. They had their cop with PR person grill me about my identity and why I was there. I told them that I was helping them contact a friend of mine that is an attorney. When they found out that he was who I was talking on the phone to when they interupeted me and that he was still on listening to our conversation, they quickly said thank you for your time and got out of dodge. It truly was a very tragic event.

One other thing the staff at Baylor came after the Tirhas had died and asked family which funeral home to release the body to. They told them, and then the staff proceeded to ask whether she would be buried here in the US or be sent back to Eritrea. I thought this to be strange since it was none of their business. Then they asked who all would accompany her body. Then a couple of family members said they would, including one who was on the emergency contact info provided when she was admitted. Once again I found this strange. A couple of days after they left, a summons magically was stapled on the door of that family member stating that Baylor was suing for Tirhas' medical records. It wound up on the docket lickity split, and they won their case by default since no one showed up in her defense. This gave Baylor the right to say anything that they wanted about her case to the public. Thus you see on this website the complete fabrication that I was she was not awake.

Let me tell you, if she was not awake, why did the doctor yell in her ear to get her to open her mouth so that she would quit biting on the intubation tube that was providing her air. Not even a dog should die this way.
