I have a good friend in London who told me that it is a known but little spoken of fact that you never go to hospital without someone to speak for you. If you don't take someone with you, if you end up not being able to speak for yourself and they deem you to not be worthy of saving, they just put you in a back room and withhold treatment and wait for you to die.

Charlie's parents are speaking up and the media is covering it. This is not a position the hospital likes or wants to be in. They are used to people just dying in the back rooms without the media being aware or caring about it. They are hoping that the baby will just die and they can go back to their backroom deaths with no one the wiser.

I don’t doubt a word of this.

When my husband and I took care of wills and such, we found out that a spouse in the US does not necessarily have any say in treatment in the case of the patient being unable to respond verbally. We had to have legal documents giving each other that right.
