COVID Patient Flown to Texas After Minnesota Doctors Decided to Pull Plug on Ventilator
A Minnesota woman whose husband neared death from COVID appealed to the courts to force his hospital to halt their plans to pull the plug on the man’s ventilator.
Scott Quiner, 55, a reportedly unvaccinated man who had been battling COVID in Mercy Hospital’s ICU in Coon Rapids since November, was set to have his ventilator shut off on Jan. 13, according to a petition filed in court one day before the deadline by his wife, Anne Quiner.
Quiner said the decision by the hospital would “end my husband’s life” and appealed to the Anoka County Court for a restraining order against the hospital. “Absent an Order from the court,” she wrote in the petition, “my husband will die.”
On Jan. 13, a district court judge ordered Mercy Hospital not to turn off Quiner’s ventilator.
On Monday morning, Marjorie Holsten, an attorney representing Quiner’s wife, told the Star Tribune that Quiner has now been transferred to a hospital in Texas. (Read more from “COVID Patient Flown to Texas After Minnesota Doctors Decided to Pull Plug on Ventilator” HERE)
