Hospital says the kid was brain-dead but then they always say that so they can sell the organs.
Father brings gun to hospital to buy time for his ‘brain dead’ son
dec 22 2015 HOUSTON — A Texas father has been released from jail after police say he brought a gun to a hospital to stop the staff from taking his son off of life support.
George Pickering II’s son was declared “brain-dead” after he suffered a massive stroke in January. The hospital ordered a “terminal wean” which is a process that slowly ends a person’s life by removing life support. The staff had even notified an organ donation organization that Pickering’s son was a donor.
Pickering decided to take matters into his own hands and marched into Tomball Regional Medical Center with a gun.
After hours of negotiation, Pickering surrendered peacefully and was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
One of the charges has been dismissed and the other was lessened. Pickering was given credit for the time he served in jail and was released in December.
