McGregor v. Hospice Care of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, LLC

Opinion of the Court

On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, Parish of East Baton Rouge.

hWrit application denied.

Dissenting Opinion

HUGHES, J.,

would grant the writ.

| tThe failure to call the doctor to inquire about the release of the additional medication took the decision from the doctor and is inexcusable, regardless of how (un-derstandábly) distraught the relatives of the dying man became. Instead, a day later the man dying in pain was “discharged.”
