Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit December 21, 1993, No. 92-6326 (Rishell v. Jane Phillips Episcopal Memorial Medical Center)

JOHN P. MOORE, Circuit Judge.

This case was initiated by the personal representative of a person who, while hospitalized in the defendant institution, failed in an attempt to end her own life. As a consequence of injuries arising from her abortive suicide, the person, Ms. Lacey, now exists in a permanent vegetative state in an institution in Louisiana specially able to care for her.
