Description
On August 13, 1991, Albert LeBreton, Jr. suffered a heart attack at his home and was taken to Pendleton Memorial Hospital. At the time of his arrival at the hospital, Mr. LeBreton was unconscious. Over the next few days of hospitalization, Drs. Felix Rabito, Patrick Breaux, and Thomas Krefft treated Mr. LeBreton. On August 18, 1991, after consultation with Mrs. LeBreton, Dr. Breaux ordered the cessation of all artificial life support, including mechanical respiration, antibiotic treatment, food, and hydration, from Mr. LeBreton. The plaintiff, Diana LeBreton, Mr. LeBreton's daughter, protested her mother's decision and asked the treating physicians to reinstate nourishment, hydration, and medication to her father. *fn2 The physicians refused the daughter's request. Subsequently, on August 20, 1991, Mr. LeBreton died.
