"We're anti-gay" trumps medical power of attorney

Oct 01, 2009 19:42

Despite a valid medical power of attorney document, a hospital in Miami refuses to let a lesbian and her children see their dying partner and mother because this is "an antigay city and state", and refuses to accept information about the patient's medical history. She sues; District Court dismisses the case.

Please disseminate broadly, this needs to be publicized.
