Girl in Utah dies under Chiropractic care
I have not heard about this story. Nevertheless, I agree with what's been said by the list so far, and I'm always full of comment.
Good Samaritan laws don't usually apply to allied health professionals, maybe even when they are the mother. I've been out of clinical practice for 8 years, but still keep up my ACLS. Not to make any assumption or accusation, but, I believe that any
nurse must distinguish between nursing practice, and the practice of religious faith. Even when done at the same time (c'mon, all you clinicians have prayed on
the job.)
It's terrible a girl has died. And frightening to think it could have been prevented. It is hard to see that something good can come from prosecution when
seen from the Bundy's point of view. And, I suppose it's easy to reciprocate what's perceived as a personal attack on religion-based values.
But I disagree with the apparent bold play of the religion card by the website, and the personal attacks against the prosecutor. They are distracting and as yet unvalidated. I would caution anyone following this case to not confuse presentations of some aspects of perhaps Mormon-based culture in Utah Valley with formal LDS Church position or doctrine. Get the facts at LDS.org.

"Unfortunately, as the Bundy’s have been consulting with the professionals they have learned that they are only one of the many families that are being attacked in a very similar manner. We all know that the family is under attack in the world now days, but the Bundy’s never fathomed it would happen to them and they are appalled at how often this same sort of thing happens. Let’s realize that the time to take action is NOW, not just for the Bundy family, but for the many others out there suffering the effects of this sort of abuse."
