Baylie's Coma and What Went Wrong with Shawnee

Baylie's story is one of a night with friends gone wrong and how a series of choices lead to her death. From the police, to the hospital, to the investigation, to fighting to pull her off life support because she didn't want that was a rollercoaster. It was so much more traumatizing than it had to be. But it inspired Shawnee to start a foundation, advocate for college safety, having a will, and writing a book to make sure others know: this can happen to anyone.    Key Takeaways:   [1:48] Baylie going off to college as a pre-med student in neuroscience  [5:24] Going out with her sorority girls to have fun and switching to drinking water [6:48] Baylie wanted to leave early, got stood up, and things went wrong [12:23] She got hit by a car while we were thousands of miles away  [16:07] Her injuries, the coma, and the struggle to get the police to look into the crime [23:49] Universities don't have to be transparent and report deaths like this  [27:03] Transferred to another hospital - and the first hospital missed something major  [31:47] Fighting with the hospital to pull the plug and being left with severe depression [39:17] Creating the foundation and book about college safety and healthcare proxies [43:42] Partnering with a will company and an app to keep people safe in rideshares  [47:11] I wrote the book to make a point: this can happen to anyone  Resources:   Baylie's Wish Foundation Baylie's Book Trust and Will 3rd i  Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   Be a guest on the podcast    YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
