I find this case disturbing for a number of reasons:
1. Hospital Trust went to court for the right to withold both resuscitation and treatment for Kidney disease - putting him on the 'Liverpool Care Pathway' against his families wishes.
2. The bloke caught the bugs that killed him when he attended that hospital.
3. The hospital has been given an injunction to keep their name secret - this is surely against the public interest - secret cases deciding on the fate of the poor
