Health knowledge made personal
 Krista Cook's son, Bryson, is in a deep coma and is breathing with the aid of a ventilator. He was born Feb. 1, a month premature, at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax. Scans show very little activity as a result of an injury that cut off the oxygen to his brain. Krista says that she understands her baby's prognosis. But she also want times with her child uninterrupted, "without being told constantly the medical facts I already know." She will meet with the IWK Health Centre ethics committee this week. Presumably, since she just wants a little more time, a compromise will be reached. ( CBC ) |
