She is 'being kept comfortable.'

[Scootaloo]

1. Sad that some of her last spoken words were saying an entire ethnic group deserved to be dead

[JimDandy]

2. Is that hospital speak for: brain dead? n/t

[FarPoint]

3. I believe so....

Probably now a no code status...Family can be with her in a more private/ clinical setting. Not sure if she is on a ventilator.

[Brother Buzz]

7. I read it as hospital speak for, "We've done all we can, the ball is in your court, family".

[XRubicon]

9. I think you are right

I also think it means they probably inserted a feeding tube and switched breathing tube from mouth to neck... I have been through this twice with family. Both times we opted to remove support in the icu. I'm not there so no judgment from me.

I wish her well and family strength.

4. Despite all the DU hate, I wish Joan well...

Hope she pulls through.

5. DU isn't full of hate - Joan Rivers is n/t

[joeybee12]

8. She was a trailblazer, now she just tries to shock...

She's right, people have thin skins, and what she says should be taken in that context.

10. Please do not use the word skins.

It's offensive to native Americans.

Signed,
A thin skin DUer

11. I meant these....

6. Me too. nt.
