They said Stroger doctors want to harvest Roger's organs, while the family wants an EEG brain test and an out-of-network opinion.

Cook County Health, which runs Stroger Hospital, said they cannot comment on a patient's care, but they respect the Solis family's request for outside medical opinions and their hearts go out to the family.
