Hawkins v. DeKalb Medical Center (Update)

I first blogged about Hawkins v. DeKalb Medical Center over four years ago.  The Georgia defendants maintained the pregnant teen patient on life support until she delivered a baby.  Providers then confirmed that she was brain dead and stopped ICU interventions.   

The patient's grandmother sued the Georgia hospital for "tortuous termination of life support."  But she failed to factually dispute the defendants' contention that the teen was dead before the termination of life support.  Therefore, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment in favor of the hospital.  Nevertheless, it looks like the plaintiff is seeking cert. to the Georgia Supreme Court.
