I think that is a very interesting choice of words from the attorney of the family.
Raindrop101, Thanks for posting. I read Dolan's words too. What do you find interesting...meaning do you think Dolan is going to pursue this issue with the hospital and/or state more or less given his words?

Looking forward to your response.

I think it's interesting that he says she bled to death considering the family is convinced she is not truly dead.
I do think the family will pursue a case against the hospital, but with their own attorney admitting that Jahi died in the hospital, it might be difficult to convince a jury that the experts were wrong and that she continued to need expensive care. JMHO.

Heh. Nice catch. Even the family's attorney is now saying that she died in the hospital. I guess the payout will be higher if they agree that she actually did die before she left the hospital

The report angered Christopher Dolan, Jahi's family attorney, who said the results illustrate why medical negligence lawsuits are necessary.
"The report is evidence of what the family has faced from day one, doctors covering for other doctors," Dolan said. "The family was not even interviewed, to my knowledge. How can a 13-year-old girl bleed to death in an ICU, and there is no evaluation or finding explaining that?"
Interesting comment in the UK Online article. The family is quoted talking about how much she is moving and how much better she looks when they go to see her in the long term care facility.
She's not in New York. If she was someone would have noticed all the long-distance plane flights. She's still in California, and probably not that far from where the parents live.

Opinions?
I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere she was moved out of state.
If the family are so pleased about her (Jahi's) ability to move around and acknowledge people around her how about they share a video? We have to take the uncles word that this is actually happening, if they are so sure she is recovering why not let a professional witness this ? why no photos or videos.
Maybe a reminder that Jahi is still on life support and a little nudge to those who are/have donated.
I think this is similar to what Jan posted. But I'm posting to show how suddenly since the State cleared CHO of deficiencies, suddenly this family emerges to the press. I guess the real question is what do they hope to accomplish by it?
I would defer to any legal expert here, but knowing some about how malpractice suits are built, why would an attorney allow this information out prior to a law suit? From my understanding of how these cases info isn't leaked to the press, it's saved for the actual legal proceedings.

Raindrop101,
An excellent post. So often we can assume we know what another means and not ask for an additional clarifying remark. I'm so glad I did as you posted your thoughts which made me think more about the article.
I was still wondering if Dolan believed he could take on changing CA Law. Your comment is so practical and real. Should a malpractice suit be filed and not dismissed along the way, would a jury of 12 people actually believe their attorney given his comments to the press?
