After he had cardiac surgery initially, which was followed by complications, by bleeding, by weaning issues, they couldn’t get him off the ventilator. Initially, had an extubation, and then, he had to be reintubated after aspiration. And then after another couple of weeks, he ended up with a tracheostomy and he’s now been in ICU for 120 days.” And the ICU is telling the family that he won’t be able to come off the ventilator because he’s got lung fibrosis, he’s 81 years of age, and he’s not a candidate for a lung transplant.

So, the family’s desperate in trying to take him home, whereas the ICU says, “Well, he won’t have any quality of life at home, and we should just stop treatment.” And that is “in the best interest” of this man who wants to live and who wants to go home.
