Seems she was only "mostly dead"...:wtf:

1. Is this some sort of a Princess Bride joke by the media?

x( Geez

[LostinVA]

2. It's extremely unprofessional and disrespectful

[Debi]

4. I agree

A deathwatch on it's own is pretty morbid, but they should get the is she/isn't she confirmed before 'getting the scoop'. She is a human being with people who love and respect her - not just a damn story.

3. Car crashes and airplanes before an election...

:tinfoilhat:

5. Ed Schultz reported they removed the life support and she died, but CNN just reported

she's in critical condition, but then spoke about her in the past tense! :wtf:

[Lucinda]

7. it took one young man I was in the hspital with 2 days to pass

after he was removed from life support. It's not always a quick thing.

[jenmito]

8. But she's not dead yet. n/t

[Lucinda]

10. I know...I was just pointing out that removing life support doesn't mean anything

even if they expect death. Which may be part of the confusion regarding the lame press coverage...

[Lucinda]

6. If they did removed life support, it can take a while

9. Karen Ann Quinlan lived for many, many years

Which shocked her doctors.

[Lucinda]

11. Yup. People seem to forget how these things can go sometimes

[Phx_Dem]

12. It is pretty amazing how they

pronounce someone dead before they've died. I guess the most important thing is being the first to announce it. Sick fuckers.
