Covid-19 was traumatic for the world, especially for those of us on the front lines. I find it fascinating that absolutely no one has been held accountable.

[The “Our Amazing Grace” lawsuit involves the family of Grace Schara, a 19-year-old woman with Down syndrome who died in October 2021 at Ascension St. Elizabeth Hospital after contracting COVID-19. The family sued the hospital and healthcare providers for medical malpractice, alleging that Grace was put on a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status without the family’s consent and given a “lethal cocktail” of drugs that led to her death. The lawsuit claimed violations of patient rights and lack of informed consent.
The case went to trial in June 2025, where the jury ultimately ruled in favor of the hospital and medical staff, finding no negligence or wrongdoing. Grace’s family argued that the hospital violated her rights and that the drugs (Precedex, lorazepam, and morphine) administered caused her death. The defense argued the treatments were given according to the family’s wishes to avoid invasive ventilation, and that Grace’s severe respiratory failure made CPR futile.
After the verdict, Grace’s family filed a motion for a new trial, claiming judicial bias by the presiding judge, citing newly discovered evidence of the judge’s personal bias against the family and adverse rulings that influenced the trial’s outcome. No hearings have been scheduled on this motion yet.
This lawsuit is noted as the only COVID-19 wrongful death case to go to a jury trial and brought significant attention to issues of patient rights, informed consent, and end-of-life care protocols during the pandemic. The family continues to advocate and maintain a website in Grace’s memory, expressing concerns about how pandemic policies may have affected disabled and elderly patients’ treatment.]
In hospice care we do give Lorazepam and Morphine for air hunger. This was a tough case to watch.
