Health official weighs limits of saving life under danger of suit
San Francisco health director Dr J C Geiger asks the city law department to define how far the health department can go to save a life without facing a lawsuit. The issue follows a $533.70 claim by Theresa K Butler who was revived after an apparent suicide attempt at Harbor Emergency Hospital. Butler, 60, left San Francisco Hospital on November 13, reportedly in good condition five days before. Dr Geiger speculates blisters could be from heat or from barbiturate overdose and blames the coroner’s office for potential actions.
