My wife has a cousin she grew up with. Their mothers were sisters. Father in law built a house for his mother and sister in law on his property, and they lived there until they passed away. Wayne's father, Big Wayne, was the first person to go to prison in Texas for DUI manslaughter, killed someone driving drunk. He did not have a father in the house, but had plenty of family support, that he squandered.

A few months ago, he started having headaches, progressing to double vision. Went and got checked out, they tell him he has a tumor growing in his sinuses. He freaks, bolts and eventually his common law wife talks him into going to the hospital. Scan shows a tumor that is filling his sinus cavities and has started to grow into his neck. Tumor encompasses his L carotid artery. Secondary mass on his shoulder. They are giving him dilaudid and fentanyl for the pain he is getting from the tumor pressing on his brain.

They tell him he is out of network for their hospital and they want to discharge him. They say he should sign out against medical advice, and go to the ER of the hospital next door. You know, so they don't have any legal liability for kicking him to the curb.
He declines discharge, offers to pay for the difference on the in vs out of network thing. They then tell him he is being abusive and threatening to the staff, and bring security to escort him out of the hospital.

I told them to call the Texas Attorney General. Any suggestions?
