Amazing friends, amazing times. My friend Denese threw her husband a wonderful 30th birthday party this past weekend. We had a blast! I was just coming off of being sick, so thankfully no loud music, no dancing, just pure Vegas style fun without the reprocussions.
It’s sad because it’s true.

Hospital Forces Lesbian to Die Alone.
U.S. District Judge Adalberto Jordan dismissed a lawsuit yesterday, essentially finding that the Jackson Memorial Hospital was within its rights to leave a dying woman alone while denying her present and immediate family to visit her, be updated on her condition, or even to provide the hospital with medically necessary information.
Named in the now-dismissed suit were Jackson social worker Garnett Frederick and attending physicians Alois Zauner and Carlos Alberto Cruz, who made the decision not to allow Janice Langbehn, Lisa Pond’s partner, to have standard family access to information, even after receiving durable Power of Attorney and a Living Will naming Janice as legal guardian with authority to make end-of-life decisions.
Jennifer Piedra, spokesperson for Jackson Memorial, released this statement after Judge Jordan said they could continue to turn [lesbian and gay] people away from their dying family members:
And I’m in Maine, where they want to overturn the recent decision to approve gay marriage. Boo.
heart = broken
This causes me true pain. In nursing school specifically OB we are taught that family is who ever the patient says it is. Her partner=her family. No one should die alone.
Being Judgmental is one thing.
But being so unbelievably wrong and inhumanly cruel is something completely separate. And it seems that those who are unbelievably wrong and inhumanly cruel can’t keep that shit to themselves.
