FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MESA, Ariz. — January 22, 2019
After a horrible tragedy unfolded at the Hacienda care facility in Phoenix, Arizona, Dr. Marchand was asked by many media outlets to help explain the situation from a medical standpoint, including the extremely unusual case of a woman being pregnant while in a vegetative state. Dr. Marchand has the greatest sympathy for victims of abuse such as described in these events, and hopes that his medical insight can help bring some degree of understanding and closure in this case.
