A HEARING TO DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF A 16 YEAR OLD FROM LATHRUP VILLAGE WHO IS ON LIKE SUPPORT AT BEAUMONT HOSPITAL IN ROYAL OAK HAS BEEN RE-SCHEDULED FOR NEXT WEEK. THE FAMILY WANTS TO KEEP HIM ON LIFE SUPPORT—BUT THE DOCTORS AT THE HOSPITAL SAY THE TEEN IS BRAIN DEAD.
The family obtained a temporary restraining order and the hospital agreed to hold off any action.
The hearing is to take evidence about the boy’s condition and to listen to arguments on whether a health care provider can withdraw treatment.
