Emilie Gossiaux was riding her bicycle in October 2010, when an 18-wheel truck making a right turn struck her. After she arrived at Bellevue Hospital Center, her heart stopped for about one minute after she went into cardiac arrest. Emilie had suffered a traumatic brain injury, a stroke and multiple fractures in her head, pelvis and leg. Emilie?s mother said that on the second day a nurse told her that her daughter was gone, and asked about organ donations.(New York Times) But Emilie had not died. Though blinded by the accident, Emilie is still continuing her recovery. Her family is raising money for her expenses here. Not a great story for engendering trust in terms of provider recommendations regarding organ donation or "tail end of the curve" treatment choices.
