They recruited Mariella Enoc, top administrator of the Gesu Bambino Hospital, who actually flew into Liverpool bringing several physicians who are specialists in anesthesia and resuscition.
Meanwhile, the UK hierarchy canned the Italian priest, Fr. Gabriele Brusco, who was there with Alfie and his parents in the hospital room for 10 days and gave Alfie the Sacraments. Sent him back to London, and then revoked his faculties (forbade him to function as a priest in the UK) and booted him back to Italy.
I can't think of strong enough words to tell you the shame and wrath I feel towards those ... gah...
Cavina (oops, a msgr) is the man who was doing all the groundwork and details.
If the British clergy would have given a small part of the efforts of the Italians, Alfie might be in the Gesu right now breathing easily by his trach. That is the standard (not new, not experimental) treatment in many countries for such conditions. The NHS is out of date. The ventilator gives an easy excuse to “remove life support” (kill the patient).
