The Light That Won't Go Out - Honoring Coach Jim Maddog Madigan

Jim Madigan was not just a patient. He was a mentor, a coach, and a man who believed in people. His players loved him for his heart, his humor, and his belief in second chances. His loss rippled through countless lives. Young athletes who lost their guide, parents who lost a trusted friend, and a wife who lost the love of her life. The cruelty of his final days is a wound that will never heal. Laurie believes that Jim’s death was not an accident, but the predictable result of an inhumane protocol system one that rewarded hospitals financially for using toxic drugs and ventilators while denying family access and simple care. The indifference she witnessed was not individual failure it was systemic evil, refined through repetition, executed with precision, and justified as “policy.”
