Now the physician is deciding who can visit John Q. Hammons?

Why is anybody "deciding"?

Why isn't John Q. Hammons free to accept any visitors he wants?

What? We always knew, well NASGA knows, that the GAL's Guardian Ad Litems were/are part of the problem, the protection racket.

Read the entire article with this critical information:

Judge Michael Cordonnier appointed Coulter as Hammons' "guardian ad litem," according to three sources familiar with an ongoing guardianship case involving Hammons........Dr. James Coulter.... has been appointed to serve as temporary guardian of hotel magnate John Q. Hammons.

Dr. Coulter acting as temporary guardian AND Guardian Ad Litem
is now providing **independent** medical advice to the court about care for the ailing Hammons.

Independent? Closed / sealed hearingss? This is a prime example of how the state seizes person and estate of an innocent person.

Life sentence and you can bet the list of approved visitors is a clue as to who is in and who is out ~~ follow the $$$$.
