BTW this made international news but know where it is, in Huntington, WV.
He needs to find a way to move to a more suitable home with no steps, or purchase a stair stepper powerchair or an outdoor elevator or a lift or trolly system. All are expensive. Also, a van with a lift or a transfer seat for his car that comes out to get you. Hopefully, he has a good job because he’ll probably have to go into debt to get it done. Been there, done that.
Why hasn’t the wonderful socialized heath care in the UK provided the man with leg braces?
I have known a few people CP who are able to used leg braces and a cane to get around. One guy I knew had to use two leg braces and and two elbow crutches. The other guy just needed one brace for one leg running from his shin to his ankle.
so why hasn’t the wonderful UK single payer system provided someone who obviously needs help....
He can request a ramp for wheelchair access. The landlord can install a temporary and the can even do a curb cut. ADA requires it for those who ask.
He should just move to the UK or Canada where the death panels can passively euthanize him.
Sorry but the Charlie Gard situation has me in one hell of a mood today.
Good thing he doesnt live in England, being imperfect would be a death sentence for him by now.
