I am the Janice that President Obama called. And you say the other side - the hospital side - was not taken into account. Well the minimal press the hospital has gotten to refute my allegations - well - in the Motion to dismiss my suit - say sit all the Judge in his decision - believed my entire account of what happened. I have many people that I contacted the night Lisa lay dying without our kids or I by her side for eight hours. And the first words out of my mouth were they won’t let us in to see her because we are gay. Anyway back to the Judge - Florida Law did not allow me any remedy; however the judge was clear that they acted improperly. Had you read the lawsuit - you would see the Hospital asked for the order to dismiss not biased on the fact that my “story” was inaccurate but they owed my family no visitation according to law… not hat I was lying. To help you i your search for the truth.. here is a link to the Order to Dismiss - go to the last page and you can read federal district judge Jordan’s opinion. I chose not to appeal because my sole goal and purpose for bringing our situation to light - was for education and change in policy - not money. I have not received one dime for speaking. The defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED. Counts I-IV are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to the individual defendants, and are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to the Public Health Trust. Counts V-VIII are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as to all defendants. If the plaintiffs’ allegations are true, which I assume that they are when deciding the defendants’ 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, the defendants’ lack of sensitivity and attention to Ms. Langbehn, Ms. Pond, and their children caused them needless distress during a time of vulnerability. The defendants’ failure to provide Ms. Langbehn and her children frequent updates on Ms. Pond’s status, to allow Ms. Langbehn and her children to visit Ms. Pond after emergency medical care ceased; to inform Ms. Langbehn that Ms. Pond had been transferred to the intensive care unit, and to provide Ms. Langbehn Ms. Pond’s medical records as she requested, exhibited a lack of compassion and was unbecoming of a renowned trauma center like Ryder. Unfortunately, no relief is available for these failures based on the allegations plead in the amended complaint. If the plaintiffs want to file a second amended complaint, they must do so by October 16, 2009. If no second amended complaint is filed, this case will be closed. DONE and ORDERED in chambers in Miami, Florida, this 28th day of September, 2009.<a href="http://www.lambdalegal.org/in-court/legal-docs/langbehn_fl_20090929_order-granting-motion-to-dismiss.html" rel="nofollow"> _______________________ Hello, I wish I had seen this when you posted it.

It does not matter how often it matters, they have a right to visit, if they are denied then that is one to many! IF you were the one, how would that make you feel ? Would you take comfort in the fact that "Well, I am the only one it happens to, or I guess it does not happen that often, so The Nurse will hold his hand...so I guess its OK....? Is that really how you would feel? Would you feel OK if that were to happen to you?? Isn’t one person being denied to visit their loved one to much?
