Family may
take Billy's
case to court
A two-hour hearing in Raleigh
before the Department of Human
Resources last Friday was "disap-
pointing," says the Kings Mountain
grandmother seeking around-the-
clock medical help for her three-
year-old terminally ill grandson,
Billy Bridges.
Helen and Clarence Burnette
were told by a pediatrician and of-
ficials with Medicare that they will
let them know within 10 days if the
around-the-clock nursing care at
home will continue.
"It was really like a kangaroo
court," said Mrs. Bridges, a nurse
at Kings Mountain Hospital.
"We were told by one doctor that
we are all terminally ill, that no
one is promised tomorrow," said
Mrs. Bridges who came home
Friday night at 10 p.m. and imme-
diately started contacting local leg-
islators.
"Billy's doctors tell us to get a
lawyer," says Helen. "We plan to
doit."
Over 200 letters from local peo-
ple urging the government agency
to continue to pay for nurses at
home for Billy were unopened,
said Mrs. Barnette.
"Billy had two good months in
June and July and that's all the
records they wanted to see," said
Helen.
Since their return home, the
Barnettes have been flooded with
calls from caring friends who have
read stories about Billy in the
newspapers and support the grand-
parents’ decision to take Billy from
the hospital and care for him in the
comfort of their home. With in-
creasing costs, the family finances
are drained.
"We took Billy into the hearing
room but we doubt that did any
good. He is still very tired from the
long trip," said Mrs. Barnette.
