The family of a 13-year-old girl declared brain-dead after having surgery is asking a hospital not to take her off life support.
Relatives met with officials at Oakland Children's Hospital to ask them to keep Jahi McMath on life support, but hospital officials were not receptive.
Jahi's mother said she asked Dr. David Durand how soon he planned to disconnect her daughter from the ventilator.
"Quickly" was his response, she said, adding that he showed "absolutely no compassion at all."
Jahi's uncle, Omari Sealey, who was also in the meeting, said Durand was "very rude" and "very cold."
"He pretty much yelled across the table, 'She is dead, dead, dead, dead, and we don't treat the dead,'" Sealey told The Associated Press.
Hospital officials also have refused to provide Jahi's medical records or to allow a second opinion on her condition.
Sealey said Jahi looks "normal," just "like she is asleep."
"We're praying for her to wake up, and I'm definitely going to pray for Dr. Durand," he said.
