Description
Now deceased, Sheila Pouliot suffered profound physical and mental disabilities since infancy and was never competent to make her own medical treatment decisions. In December 1999, incapacitated and terminally ill, she was admitted to the State University of New York ("SUNY") Upstate Medical Center at Syracuse. Aware of her condition, her family, her treating physicians, and other hospital personnel all agreed that only palliative care-without invasive, life-prolonging, or resuscitative measures-was appropriate. Several days later, the New York Attorney Generals office intervened. It advised hospital officials that this course of care was contrary to New York law, that no third party was competent to direct the withdrawal of life-prolonging measures from a patient who had never been competent and who, consequently, had never consented to such steps, and that the administration of artificial nutrition, hydration, and antibiotics was required.
