New One possible interpretation
just from what you wrote... the girl has massive brain damage. If something had been done in the intervening forty minutes, perhaps a large amount of that brain damage may have been averted.

Of course, I don't actually know the score on that one... but that fits your description of the situation and a strong urge on the part of the family to sue the doc who pronounced her dead, which led to a large chunk of time when there was no treatment leading to potentially very negative results for the baby.

The "massive brain damage" would be a result of lack of oxygen to the brain. If her chest was moving, she was breathing, therefore brain was receiving oxygen.

Now she may have some brain damage. Doesn't say how long she was without oxygen. Also doesn't say what other injuries she may have or that might have been aggrevated by lack of prompt treatment.

the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever."
