Description

NEBEKER, Associate Judge: This is an appeal, expedited of necessity, from an order of Judge Bacon of the Superior Court refusing to appoint a guardian to give consent for the administration of a blood transfusion to a patient, a member of the Jehovahs Witnesses faith, who was receiving emergency treatment at a hospital. The case originated by the hospitals petition which was accompanied by an affidavit. After two hasty hearings, ably conducted by Judge Bacon - one in her home the night of the accident and the other the following day on a request for reconsideration - the case came on for emergency consideration by this court. We directed a third hearing at the bedside of the patient. Judge Bacon asked Lawrence Speiser, Esquire, to attend and represent the patient and his family. In the meantime, we listened to a tape recording of the second hearing. Immediately upon completion of the bedside hearing, we had portions of the transcript read to us over the telephone from the hospital. Counsel then returned to the court house and we heard argument on behalf of the hospital and the patient. We then affirmed Judge Bacons order and indicated an opinion would follow.
