The legal strategy in the Schara case focuses on a "battery claim" due to the total lack of informed consent regarding Grace's treatment and DNR status. Scott Schara explains that Wisconsin regulatory agencies have claimed state DNR statutes do not apply to doctors in non-emergency hospital settings, effectively giving them a "license to kill." The defense is reportedly attempting to reclassify the case as simple medical malpractice to trigger statutory damage limits.

Scott Schara warns the public about signing electronic pads during hospital admissions, advising patients to demand paper copies and strike out clauses that waive their rights. He reveals that Ascension Health's legal defense denies they "directly provide healthcare services" and suggests that any damages were the result of the plaintiffs' own decisions. Schara argues that doctors should not have special liability protections that other business owners do not enjoy.
